The message
from Janet Tweedy contains these words:

Kitchen garden magazine says that sweet chestnut 'Regal' will only be 20
foot in 15 years. Is this feasible or a sad underestimation of the
tree's growth? I thought it might be nice to replace the cherry in the
front garden.

Hum. Sweet chestnuts can grow VAST and quite quickly - however, if
someone has produced some sort of dwarf variety, why not?
