Growing chestnuts from a walnut is a rather exciting activity, which, depending on the variety chosen, will allow you to get a tree that performs decorative functions or brings edible fruits. However, to do this, it will be necessary to take into account the criteria for selecting a nut, to comprehend the planting technology and the rules for subsequent care of the seedlings. All these questions will be analyzed in detail in the proposed article.
Nut selection criteria for planting
Initially, you will need to get the nuts themselves, the features of this process and the choice of planting material are discussed below:
- It is allowed to collect nuts exclusively from the ground, because the fruits that have not fallen from the tree, which are still growing, are immature and are not suitable for germination. The most suitable time to collect is September or October, depending on the climatic conditions in the region and the weather in a particular season.
- Nuts should be carefully examined, their surface should be flat and smooth., without noticeable hillocks or any visible damage.
- The surface of the walnut should be glossy and dark brown., which indicates the maturation and the absence of damage by any diseases.
- A large enough amount of nuts must be collected., because not all of them will be able to ascend.
