That is an impressive agroforestry system. :) Which chestnut species do you grow?
They're american chestnut, several given to us by a friend without any kind of cultivar information. We've also got another nursery owner who'll sometimes give me a bag of horse chestnut seeds when the trees that line his property have a good year
Is there no chestnut blight in your area?
It's in the area, but our nursery friend's trees have been unaffected so far. It's possible that the other batch came from an improved stock / from transgenic trees but I don't seem to have confirmation in my notes
