## Wild American Chestnut Seedling

After 8 years of observation around the homestead an unusual plant often stands out. I noticed this small sapling while stacking hay for the horses only a stones throw from the wild american chestnut tree here on the homestead.

I was in disbelief that it was actually a chestnut but upon returning several days later, it is clear that this is a seedling chestnut!

A squirrel must have planted it and then took a trip to the rabbit colony cannabis garden for a snack and forgotten all about it. I was considering trying to transplant it but now I think I'll just put some protection around it and see how it grows right where it is.
