Hi there,


My chestnut seedling is now this big:

When should I plant it outside?


* I'd pot it on (preferably into a long pot) and grow it on for another
season yet. At its present height it's too tempting for passing
rabbits/deer (or accidental trampling by self).

Just remember that a chestnut is a large tree,
If you have been growing it inside then dont plant out till mid May,
depending where you live.
I'd go wit Janet re growing it on for another year.
David @ the dry end of Swansea Bay where we only has 0.2 " of rain
yesterday, and a lot less today.
