For year after year I looked foreward to collecting chestnuts from this first generation American Chestnut/Asian chestnut cross as I carried the Mail. The tree was planted about 40 years ago when the home owner was given them as a retirement gift when he retired from the Air Force. I hated to hear that the owner decided to remove them so there was no way I would let them go to waste. They will be sawn into lumber.
Last year I sprouted 60 seedlings and I'm so glad I did just in time. I will miss this yearly treat I've enjoyed for so very long.

Glad you didn't let those go to waste Matt! Lot's of good calls there. :icon_thumright:
Good score! Can't wait to see how you transform them.

Gonna cut that big arse persimmon on Liverpool rd about 1/2 mile from your house. Biggest one I know of any where!
