Описание: Discover how to grow a chestnut tree from seed with this easy, step-by-step guide! Whether you’re a gardening novice or a seasoned green thumb, this video breaks down the process into three simple stages: cold stratification, planting in soil, and providing the right light.

Step 1: Cold Stratification
Did you know chestnuts need a simulated winter before they can sprout? We’ll show you how to prepare your chestnut for germination by using a damp paper towel and a fridge. After 8–12 weeks of chilling, your chestnut will start to wake up. Look for a small sprout as the sign that it’s ready for the next stage.

Step 2: Soil Preparation and Planting
Learn how to create the perfect home for your sprouted chestnut. Chestnuts thrive in well-draining soil, so we’ll explain how to avoid soggy roots by using the right soil mix. You’ll see how to plant the chestnut about an inch deep, with the root pointing downward, ensuring it has the best chance to grow into a healthy sapling.

Step 3: Sunlight and Growth
Once planted, your chestnut needs plenty of light to thrive. We’ll discuss the best spots to keep your growing tree and what to watch for as its first leaves emerge. Did you know chestnut leaves start with a reddish hue before turning bright green? Watching their transformation is just one of the joys of growing a chestnut tree.
