These are the blight resistant cousin to the Allegheny Chinquapin. The scientific name is Castanea Seguinii.
Have any of you grown these from nuts? If so I have a question:
Do these require cold stratification?
I've grown Allegheny Chinquapins from nuts and I know they do not require cold stratification. In fact, it is difficult to delay germination. Germination can be slowed a bit by cold storage.
I ordered the seed from F. W. Schumacher. Their web site says they require 60 days of stratification, but I'm not sure whether to believe that. I'd like to hear from anyone with first hand experience.
Finally, I was pretty successful growing the ACs in rootmakers last year but I killed a bunch because I started them early and tried to force dormancy. Those that I didn't try to force into dormancy did well. For those who have grown seguins from nuts, are there any differences in growing Seguins that I should be aware of beyond the basics of growing ACs?
Thanks,
Jack
