First time posting for me, too! My question: I bought some Italian
Chestnuts in the grocery store, and found that one of them has
sprouted! I'd like to plant it, but I'm not sure which end should be
up. The sprout is coming out of the pointy end. Is this the stem? I
assumed that it was a root, but does the root come out of the flat
end? Thank you. Happy New Year.
