Hi there,

My chestnut seedling is now this big:

When should I plant it outside?

(Sorry if this is a silly question)

Thanks.


They are hardy trees so if the seed had fallen on the ground it would have
grown fine, so the answer is any time, just make sure it doesn't dry out
while its roots are establishing into the ground (fat chance of that at
present)
