steve_b_wales Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) I have what I believe are a sweet chestnut sapling and a few hazel ones that are free of charge to anyone who wants them. All I ask is for the postage to be covered, which should not be more that £5:00 I will also have some Oak saplings free in a few weeks time. Just waiting for them to germinate a bit more. Now sorted: Oak saplings will be available in approx' 3 months time. Edited April 26, 2021 by steve_b_wales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Yes please Steve, can I have some Sweet Chestnuts and Hazels please. Will PM you my details and seek your payment details. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Steve...hansom offer as usual. I am really pleased because you got me into trying to raise from seed and I have three nice horse chestnuts which came from a red flowered variety I have in my wood which we call Sika's tree as my old dog is planted at it's base. Nothing more exciting in my view than seeing a break in the soil and the apperance of a shoot. One of mine has only just started to appear and has been in a pot since October. Keep up the good work as there is still plenty of space around for a few more trees. Not actually trees, but it was fantastic to see a local prairie farmer re planting hedge rows this last week. Let me know come autumn if you need further seed and I should have some of those red horse chestnuts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want any Oak saplings, let me know as I've got quite a few just pushing through the soil now. I usually wait a year before passing them on, but they'll be okay to replant. I've been doing this for the past 18 years, ever since my son passed away, and I've estimated that I have 'grown' and passed on at least 1200 saplings since then. The furthest being the Isle of Lewis. I plan (and hope) to continue doing this for as many years in the future that I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Well done Steve, a lovely way to remember your lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Thanks Steve but to be honest I do not have much more room in the wood and have already handed out five walnuts which grew wild and all of these red chestnuts will go to friends. Keep up the good work. I'm just hoping that the chestnuts come true to the parent tree. There is not another chestnut nearby so doubt if there has been any cross breeding.
