pollination

We will have chestnut tree scion wood for sale starting in Januray, 2011. Each
stick has an average of 5 buds per stick. You must graft this onto a chestnut
tree. No other trees are compatible. From initial graft to producing the first
chestnuts is 3-4 years. Full production is 12-20 years depending growing
conditions. There are many web sites that can aid you with learning how to
graft. In a study conducted in 2010 on our farm, the cleft grafting technique
provides the best results with chestnut trees. Make sure the day time temps
are at least 70 degrees and the chestnut trees are actively growing (first
true leaves are fully extended from the branch).
You can phone us to place your order (phone 360-592-3397). We accept most
major credit cards.
