Good job, I'm sure the trees will appreciate the attention and care. This will be my third year with chestnut trees, still trying to be patient.

I planted Keiffer pear tree's 10 years ago, had to fence them in or they would all be gone by now due to deer pressure.

That was a nice days work, Great job. When they are that big I dont think tubes will fit around them to protect them from the deer. That one tree was pretty big around. Tree tubes have a diameter of about 4-5 inches. If you want to protect them from the deer you might have to do cages. The also have a deer repellant spray, but then that kind of defeats the purpose in having the trees to attract deer.

Yes. I bought a Bad Boy zero turn mower this year and it’s been great. I can mow within inches of the trees and clean up the rows really nice.

Could just put some of the same fencing around those trees, 5 foot section zip tied into a circle, no need to put the t post.

Be careful pruning chestnut trees. You can't prune them like Apple trees..

Now you tell me, lol! I searched for that answer this spring but couldn’t find one. These trees did need the suckers removed and the balance of the pruning was a one time thing. The prior owner just kind of let them go. From here on out, I think they look pretty good. Thanks for the insight, I do appreciate it.

@@creekriseoutdoors Best of luck with the trees. I have around 50 trees and every year I add more. It's a learning process for all of us. The deer will destroy those trees unless you protect them for about 10 years. After that they can survive the deer. Even after that I protect the trunk of the tree as long as I can. The deer will browse the leaves and anything they can reach. My hope is that the American chestnut tree can make a come back. They have added a Gene from wheat to the American chestnut tree that makes it Blight resistant like your Dunstan trees.Yet the government won't approve it as they consider it a GMO. That's the best option for American chestnut trees surviving we have come up with in the last 60 years..

Thank you. Yes, I hope they make a comeback. Such a valuable tree. I hadn’t heard of the wheat gene issue. I’ll have to follow that along. Have a super day.

You can drive a stick of rebar, or any kind of metal rod, on two opposite sides of the trees about 6 inches from the tree. This will stop bucks from rubbing them. I had to do this on some of my young live oaks and they never touched them again. You don’t even need a cage around them.
