These are some of the latest saplings that I planted last year, and will be handed out later this year for replanting. One sapling is 2 years old and the other is 3 years old. What are they?

10 out of 10. 

This is the first time that the sweet chestnuts have germinated. I did nothing different when planting them last year. The Oak will be given away free to anyone who wants it, and the Horse Chestnut which is 3 years old will (hopefully) go one of my permissions where I may be able to see it grow. I've also got some Oaks growing but they have only just started to push through the soil. If there's anyone on here that would like some of the sweet chestnuts, let me know. All I ask is that the postage is covered.

do you put any of the seeds in the freezer ...to give them a false winter ...before germinating.....?

 

(i was tempted to say "do you put yer nuts in the freezer" )

Yes, and  'maybe'!
