This is the first field where the 200 chestnut seedlings were planted a week ago. The seedlings are about 18 inches tall and planted 20 feet apart. This photo was taken yesterday. The next planting is in the fall, when we plant 300 grafted trees. We are ordering the Qing variety for the chestnut quality and resistance to blight. We will plant a few of the trees in this field, but the majority will be planted on the adjacent field, shown toward the top of the photo to the left.
