I found a chestnut oak seed and put it in the refrigerator last month

good head start on a sunny window sill in potting soil. TIA

Sounds like your giving it the best shot. Float it in a glass of water,
if it sinks, its a good seed, if it floats, it is a "pop".

I learn something new almost every day.
