Growing a tree from another?

Reply | Forward

Message #273 of 291 |

Hi all. My mom has a very old chestnut tree at our family home. We are moving
and I'd like to know if there's a way I can grow another tree from that tree to
take with me. I know nothing about these trees so I'm hoping I can maybe take a
clipping? Or grow another from an actual chestnut??? I'm sorry to be ignorant,
but I hope to get some assistance here. This tree means so much to me. The
memories of many warm chestnuts from mom. I look forward to your responses.
Thank you!

... You are welcome. When you get the chestnuts,dampen some moss and pop them in the fridge. If they go a little mouldy, with a white coating, wash them and...	Jocelyn Clarke robietufts	Oct 2, 2009 9:54 am

... I did some research on line and found that is is peat moss that I need. The next question I have is about the plastic bag. Holes, or no holes? The...	anewaurora	Oct 10, 2009 8:18 pm
... Doesn't matter. If you are like me and peek fairly often, you don't need holes. It is kind of fun to open the bag, stir them around and check for white...	Jocelyn Clarke robietufts	Oct 11, 2009 12:23 pm
... No, just get some peat moss at a garden centre. Sometimes it's called Canada peat or Northern peat....the brown dry package pressed into a brick shape....	Jocelyn Clarke robietufts	Oct 11, 2009 12:17 pm
I would think you could also start a tree from a cutting too. If necessary, use rooting hormone or willow water (sally water) to help it along if it's...	Jessica Wolff brokenstrings	Sep 27, 2009 12:05 am
