Save this for when you plant your chestnuts! All you need is a deep pot, well-draining soil, and proper seed orientation for success. 🌱

I appreciate the effort, but you’re just planting a tree that will die young.
Another way is put out a bunch of chestnuts, walnuts, acorns etc and let the squirrels plant them (they won't eat them all)!
Where do you get the American chestnuts?
