Planting trees from seeds

| I inquired on this topic a couple weeks ago and appreciate the responses.
I have a gallon bag of chestnuts in my fridge that I was going to plant. I happened to look at them the other day and behold, nearly all of them are sprouting. At what point should I put them in dirt? and should I wait until spring to put them outside? I imagine there is probably over 100.
Thanks

| If your ground is not frozen and conditions allow you to plant them now, I'd do so. Be sure to mulch them and provide protection from predation (if necessary). |

| You can pot them now and grow them in a sunny window like any house plant , if you like. They will have a little size on them by spring, and they are not hard to harden off for out planting. I have quite a forest on the kitchen table right now, sweet chestnuts and pears, mostly. Deep pots are best for trees, for example, a 2 l milk jug with a few holes in the bottom. Jocelyn, PEI |
