I put cages around my oaks to keep bucks from rubbing.I just used some 2x4 dog pen wire and cut a piece about 12 inches bigger than trunk,you don't have to stake or anything
I think this is fantastic to have a healthy Chestnut growing so well - nice job! I'm with Hoytvectrix, since you've done such a good job growing this one, there is no time like the present to plant a few more so it has another chestnut to take to the prom someday!

Chestnut tree question. Forester notice this chestnut tree when I was having hemlocks removed. It was growing at the base of a large oak tree so I'm not sure it would ever amount to anything. But in any case the idiot tree cutters for the power company decided they'd just cut it down when they were clearing around my power lines. It has since stump sprouted. I caged the stump sprouts trying to save it from the deer. Is it salvageable? It does get a decent amount of sun there even though it's shadowed by the oak. I'm assuming next spring I should pick the best sprout and trim the rest. No idea what kind it is, I doubt it was planted there at the base of the oak.
