I hope they do De.
And that your great-great-grandkids enjoy the nuts of
your labors.

Re: "did you plant those with the intent of eating the nuts from them when they grew up?"I hadn't really thought about getting chestnuts, so I'm glad you asked. My main intention was to help reintroduce chestnut trees to the eastern United States. There is a part of me that gets pleasure from that.

Nuts would be a nice emergency food source if I'm still around when they start bearing. For that matter, since I've planted 45 trees in total, I might find that I can make a little money selling them each year. I've seen chestnuts in stores and they aren't cheap.

A quick Google search says I can expect nuts in 3 to 7 years. That's not long!

The trees themselves are very long-lived… hundreds of years. They could even outlive me.
