Usually we do not plant the Chestnut trees. We pick spontaneous born
plants, under the Chestnut trees, relocate them and later on, 2 to 3 years
old, we implant the young trees with the kind of the chestnut tree we want.
There is a technique for this, and it would take some time to describe it.

Those are some nice size trees. Did you plant them yourself?
