Does anyone in the Philly or greater Philly area know how to get their hands on one of the new blight-resistant American #chestnut trees? Sapling preferred but would be willing to take seed if no other option.
Gladly willing to pay to support the reintroduction of the native species, especially because I wish to plant one on my property. Have two friends who might also be interested!
I was not expecting whiskey (Glenfiddich Vat 01) and roasted chestnut complementing each other this good.
I poured a litre of water into a bowl, then added a teaspoon of salt into the water, then mixed them. Then I added half kilos of chestnut, pre-cut, into the solution. I made chestnuts soak the water for like 30 mins. After that, I took them out, and fried them on my Air Fryer, cooked them for 15 mins at 200 Celsius, on the top steel grill thingy.
The clocks have been turned back, it feels winter is on the way…..brrr.. The old chestnut tree in the field by our garden is getting ready, as are we.
This centuries-old chestnut tree has long branches sprawling far into the grey sky, and is mostly bare of leaves. Beneath the tree the field is covered in a blanket of orange brown leaves
The American chestnut tree was a huge part of the east coast forest system. And then chestnut blight arrived killing the trees. #DunstanChestnut trees are an attempt to reintroduce the trees. We planted several on the advice of the nursery. This photo is the healthiest tree. This young tree has many chestnuts. There must have been piles of chestnuts under a mature tree. #rewilding, #Minnesota, #Zone4b, #NativePlants, #GrowYourOwn, #Chestnut, #Pollinators, #PunkTrees.
