I planted 25 Dustin chestnut trees and 5 Chinese chestnut trees 5 years ago. The Dustin chestnuts are loaded every year the Chinese have yet to produce a single nut. Same here. Dustin's are loaded Chinese not a single nut. All are the same age and size.

I've planted some of each & aren't having luck with either. They leaf out at the bottom each year & that's about it. I'm glad you are getting chestnuts. Last edited by AJE; 09/21/23 11:57 PM.

I wonder if this is similar 10-10-10 is a fertilizer that contains 10% nitrogen, 10% phosphate and 10% potash. Root stimulator has a hormone in it, called auxin, that stimulates root growth. Root stimulator sometimes has fertilizer in it too. It should say on the packaging. Keith
