Chestnuts worth saving and seed propagation progress
David Conover, a biology professor at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, works with Mr Janssen to preserve chestnut seeds over winter. Seeds must stay moist in sand in the refrigerator to develop an inch long tap root by late April. Earlier attempts to bury seeds below the frost line failed due to chipmunks.

Chestnut comeback project aims to restore rare American trees
Mr Janssen cultivates American chestnuts, rare climax species once dominant in eastern forests. He recommends planting three trees to ensure both male and female. Six saplings planted last spring were lightly cared for with weekly watering and no fertilizer. He shares seedlings, trades for other species, and notes Michigan research predicting chestnut dominance on mixed sites over centuries.
