We've been starting Chestnut seeds for a while now I have a small greenhouse a lot of trial and error.
This is the second year in a row that we've had extremely good luck growing them.
We use only potting soil mixed with perlite and we also catch rainwater and only water them with that.
We also...
Your probably ok with the containers till fall.
Come fall get them in the ground in your yard so they winter more like normal, by doing that you will get the heat from the ground.
If you leave them in the pots they will freeze, I have had it happen.

I always wanted to almost made it one year, i did research on it.
One thing to really really want to watch for, Canada can get some harsh winter kill in areas on the deer herd.
If that happens you probably should take that into consideration.

My first chestnuts are now 10 years old.
I planted them 8 years ago as 2 year old and tubed them. Today I'm taking the tree tube off and replacing with a wire guard and trunk protector around them.

We had a buck one time that we found entire left side that broke off from fighting deep in the skull. He lived another 4 years after that and every year his left side was always a really funky side compared to his right

Normally you run a coarser screen coming out of the tank heading toward the nozzles and then a finer screen at the nozzles.
yes you could run into some restriction if you go a fine screen out of the tank, as it would not have enough volume to get to every one of the individual fine screen...
If they produce in 5 years that's little faster.
I am always for trying something little different, if you end up having a problem with your chestnuts you want have different varieties of them.

Just picked up today chestnuts crossed with DCO.

Another follow-up answer here is once hydraulic is hooked up then you do have to activate the tractor hydraulic remote lever to operate the Spade controls.
The Spade has 7 hydraulic levers.
2 to open the front to get into the tree.
1 for EACH spade and 1 for the tilt, which you can also control...
Okay unit is made to plug in off of the remote on the back of a tractor.
So I made up a set of permanent hydraulic hoses that go to the front of the loader that have breakaway quick couplers to hook up to the tree spade.
One could bring spade controls back to the tractor seat area, would take...
I should add it's a Vermeer model ts20
They normally come three-point hitch but I adapted it to go on the front.

50 HP
It has wheel weights and also when the Spade is on add I 800 lbs to the 3 pt hitch, with that set up it's very well balanced.

Yes I agree everybody has bottom feeding poachers....
Sometimes hard to know if you even had somebody on your property.
In my situation we noticed a set of boot prints that were made in slushy snow and by next morning it was frozen and perfect boot print, immediately I knew something was up.

Actually that's not my house that's the neighbor's house, to be truthful with you I think they shot it at night shining
