| How do you germinate a Chestnut? (Chinese Chestnut Castanea mollissima) Would you cut/scar the outer shell (brown shell) of the seed? Thanks! |

| Crabs, haven't grown/sown them, but from what I can see once the nuts are released from the bur, there isn't a need to do anything to the individual shells/seed coats. There is, though, plenty of information that suggests these dehydrate very quickly after ripening in Fall and unless stored moist or planted will lose their viability. |
