I have not had much luck with Seguins. I had a disaster buying nuts from Schumacher one year with zero germination. I did buy a few trees from the wildlife group and got some nuts from them. I got ok germination but some disease killed all but one of the seedlings and it killed the parent trees. The wildlife group is not selling them this year.
Another thing I have not have any success with (but others have) is with nutgrafting chestnuts. So, why not take my two big failures and put them together?
I know a few of you have some Seguins that have been growing a few years. My Dunstan trees are finally producing a few nuts that I collected and cold stratified this year. I'd like to try an experiment nutgrafting Seguin scions to chestnuts. I built a misting chamber this year and it seem like a good use since nut grafting requires high humidity control.
So, if you've got seguins that are old enough to collect scions and would like to help, please PM me. I'd be glad to cover any shipping cost. I only have a handful of nuts, so I don't need many.
Thanks,
Jack
