🍂 As autumn arrives, chestnut trees at TACF’s Meadowview Research Farms enter dormancy, leaves turning gold and brown before falling. This cozy pause is nature’s renewal, while staff use the time to plan, prepare, and continually refine methods across the field, nursery, and lab. Dormancy sets the stage for a strong spring and a year of progress in chestnut science. 🌳

Will Chestnut trees grow in the North?

I have several chestnut trees on my farm and they produce every year. I know the wildlife loves them. 

Wish mine would start producing
