RE: Proof That Chestnuts Can Be Grown In Pots Without Going Through Stratification
@afrog hi, unfortunately it really is chestnut - they really are chestnuts. I won't bury my avocado this way as you can see in this post those are my avocado seeds and they also don't have the same shape :D
am certain they are chestnuts because I actually harvested them and picked them up as I mentioned on this post that shows where this experiment all started.
As for the spoon - it's supposed to be a spoon to stir coffee or take honey for tea but I have quite a lot of them so I decided to use them to measure the height.
As for the chestnut - my hubby doesn't have to worry about it growing roots that could uproot the house or fall on the garden as I plan to bonsai it for 8 years first. It would take it 10 years at least to get it to flower. By that time, I probably have already managed to design its branches and trained it enough that it will understand that its not allowed to grow so huge like I did with my apple mango - it hasn't grown too tall despite that its already 4 years old - oh almost 5 as you can see in this post
as for magic beans - not a fan of eating beans cause like potatoes they make me fart a lot hahahaha
Yes, unfortunally. Excuse me for suspicion. I never noticed chestnuts have such leaves with only one part. I thought they must have five parts like the horse chestnut tree. I'm really blind! We go every autumn to a secret place to gather them. Never realized they have only one parted leaves.
Magic beans are not for eating at all, @englistchrivy. You put them into soil and they are growing up in the sky.
Anyway, have fun with your new bonsai–students.
@afrog no worries I know you mean well :D
you know we actually eat and boil horse chestnuts in Asia. We got them from China - we just boil them and they taste a bit like sweet potatoes but here I couldn't dare pick up horse chestnuts in the church I featured here because people automatically say they don't eat those.
Next year I pay that church a visit I won't care anymore. I'm going to collect them and make a pie out of them or a horse chestnut cake :D
as for magic beans - I've met the giant he said they broke the code so those beans won't be growing anymore hahaha :D
