I've been collecting and trying to grow the nuts from the tree I have here. Unsuccessful so far, but that's the goal! Grow as many from the trees that can make it to maturity and continue to build resistance but keep the American timber form.

Excellent job 👍🏻what are you doing to replicate natural cycles ??
Just thinking about how to kick start that germination rate 🤔
I might be doing something wrong but I'm just planting the nuts in air prune beds as I find them in the fall. I had success with this method when planting chestnuts from elsewhere.
I found this resource for you, it's about sweet chestnut but I'm sure you could experiment with American chestnut 👍🏻
You should write up what your doing, I'm sure other folks would be interested in copying you 😉
Did you link it in the note? I don't see it.
No, because I'm an idiot 🤣🤣
