    Received my 2 lbs of chestnut, 116 seeds. Last year I ordered a pound and had 95% germination. Nov 1st I went out to fix a tree tube that fell over, the tree seedling was healthy with leaf buds for next year

    This is my second year purchasing seed chestnuts last year I had 54 out of the 56 nuts germinated for a 96% germination rate and 42 of the 56 nuts grew into trees for 75% success rate some of the trees reached 25 inches tall grew them in rootmaker trays will plant in spring. Great chestnuts for growing trees and sharing the seedlings with family and friends to plant.Thanks Chestnut Ridge!!!

    First year ordering chestnut seeds. Ordered chestnuts on a Thursday they shipped them on Monday and I received them on Wednesday what more can a guy ask for. I started the stratification process on Friday and plan on posting positive results later

    Seed stock was well packed and was complimented with very good shipment communication regarding my order. I will be placing nuts in cold stratification this week and waiting for spring. Based on other reviews I’m excited and expecting good results.

    This is my second year purchasing these seed chestnuts from Chestnut Ridge. These seeds are hand chosen by the man in charge over there by the name of Dale. I have talked with him a few times when I thought I was in trouble growing my first set of trees. He is very helpful and knows chestnuts!!!! I stratified 90 seeds last year and have 88 of the 90 in 5 gallon pots up to 24″ tall right now. Will plant all of them in the spring. These seeds are AWESOME!!!!!!
    Many thanks Dale and his crew over there in P. C. (Mary Beth was awesome too)

    Preparing to start a chestnut orchard in central NY. Seeds looked wonderful, they are resting in my refrigerator for the winter! I ordered 10 pounds and received well over 400 seeds. Very excited, will order again next year.

    Received 2 pounds of planting chestnuts in a timely manner. 88 nuts in brown paper bag. I am following the instruction sheet and the nuts are in my refrigerator for the next 3 months. Very happy thus far and will change rating to 5 stars once my trees are sprouting.

    Looking forward to these chestnuts producing some great trees in our orchard! I float tested 4 lbs of these and had zero floaters. Thanks!

    I purchased 10 pounds of chestnuts last October for wildlife food plots. Some of the nuts were sown directly in the ground and I estimate 75% of these grew. I also stratified 200 chestnuts in dampened peat moss and refrigerated them until May, when I planted them in one gallon pots. Germination rate for these was 97%, and they are now ready for transfer to their permanent location. They are about 18 inches tall after 1 season of growth.

    I have been purchasing seed chestnuts every year since 2012. I start the chestnuts out in damp peat moss in the refrigerator. Once they start to put out a root I plant them in the ground and use a 5 ft Plantra tree protector. I have had trees grow in excess of 5 feet in a single growing season and hit as high as 11 feet the following year. This year I had a few trees produce chestnuts just 4 years after they were a chestnut on a tree themselves. I know of no other hard mast that can reproduce itself in 4 years. Keep competing grass away from your seedlings with either mulch or weed mats and once that taproot hits good moisture stand by for unbelievable growth. I am certainly glad I found Chestnut Ridge and I will continue to be a customer.

    Great seed nuts. High germination rate, grew some 4′-5′ trees this year. Chestnut Ridge people very helpful.

  18. Matt (verified owner)

    I have purchased a pound of Chestnut seeds for planting the last three years. I have never had a “floater” and all but six over the three year period germinated. Very high quality nuts. You won’t be disappointed. They sell out quickly so order early.

  19. Roy McKey (verified owner)

    This is my third season to purchase the chestnuts seeds.
    Very pleased with the performance of the seeds as well as the outstanding service.
    Thank y’all for the hard work and God Bless.
