    Ozark Chinquapin Seeds

    Will do. I cut a section of tree tube to 18 inches and then put a wire cage around to protect from deer. Ive had really good luck doing this with chestnuts but was pretty disappointed with the chinquapin growth. Hopefully it goes better this year. Would be cool to have several years of trees...

    They suggest direct seeding but i got about 10 inches out of them last year. If i dont do better than that this year i will try starting indoor going forward.

    It would be easier to hack the federal reserve than bitcoin. That's the entire premise behind blockchain and why even the USD will be on blockchain eventually even if bitcoin fails.

    Ozark Chinquapin

    According to the foundation the parent trees are blight resistant but they can not guarantee the nuts will be. They have been "breeding" trees for 15 or so years from all over the country. Seemingly with much more success than they have had with American chestnuts.
