A friend of mine who runs a lawn service in St Paul Minnesota dropped off some chestnut seeds that were all over a backyard of one of his customers. Surprised me! When I had looked into chestnuts years ago I was turned off by what zone was suggested for them. I figured they were at best a marginal zone 4 survivor. He told me the tree was at least 25 feet tall, but that's the only info he has. I told him to get some pics of leaves and bark next time he mows that lawn. He said it was full of nuts. It's in an older part of St. Paul that has some pretty old trees but I wonder if it's a Chinese chestnut??
Any suggestions on the seeds?? What I could find said to cold stratify them?? I had good luck this year with my acorns, treat them the same way??
Thanks
