I have just discovered you via your wonderful book, which I look forward to reading. Where are you located? Do you have a website? I also look forward to your videos. I browsed through some and I love them! Thank you
Hi Akiva. I'm curious about this plant. Along with all of the benefits that you mentioned,would this be beneficial in repelling pests like Raccoons? Thanks.
😂😂😂
Wonderful video, compact and too the point, very inforrmative! 1. The rootstock that you originally plant horizontally, is this nothing more than a small tree with a root ball or bare roots? 2. What zone are you in? 3. If you were to grow root stock from seed would that plant be true to seed or different? Thanks so much!
Hi Akiva. Was wondering if you have to Sratify Black Locust? Also was wondering if you have any tips growing Osage Orange from seed. Thanks.👍
Great video, thank you for your information! Got my first ever 5 gallon bucket buried yesterday!
KB Brookins brought me here
One of the best trees in the US, people should be arrested for killing it and calling it a noxious weed in the eastern Midwest
Hello, I found a lot of sites saying this plant is very toxic =(
Please make a how-to video showing your press and how you make bitternut oil. Thanks!
"They are here as healers." Beautiful, thank you!
when dyou suppose you'll have chinkapin seed for sale again?
Your channel is phenomenal! When you planted your original rootstock that you are now harvesting from, did you leave the crown exposed or did you bury the entire plant? Keep up the great work.
Yeah I’ve heard people say that and it’s just ridiculous honestly. That’s like saying an oak has no ecological value. Doesn’t make sense. I’m also wondering if you can boil the nuts then dry them out and make like a nut butter or something like that
I noticed some of your chestnuts were quadrangular and single leader, like Americans, are you growing hybrids in that bed?

Been doing the bucket method for three years, I was cheap so I just drilled out quarter inch holes in the bottom, and I probably lost 10 percent to water holding towards the bottom, so I just stopped mixing nuts into that bottom section at all. Lazy problems lazy solutions lol, Thanks Akiva!
Cool!
How are your persimmon trees doing? Maybe you'll find the time to do a video this autumn/winter.
Thanks
I also noticed that a lot of books say it has no wildlife value, but I found a few massive bitternuts on our woodlot and the ground looks completely scraped underneath from animals foraging. Also noticed some chewed and broken-open bitternuts atop a log. Probably not as appetizing as acorns from a white oak, but I'm guessing they're similar in wildlife value to red oak acorns
No that is a perfect name you are not from the south. It grows ugly warts most people would think it is sick. But, it is also an extremely fast wild tree that gets so branchy. The one your showing is a heavily pruned one
I’ve learned so much from your online abundant propagation course Akiva. Thank you!!
Great stuff! I wonder how it looks like in the autumn... probably amazing.😎
Beware don't plant it!!
Planted all of mine 25 years ago. They haven't spread at all. They feed all the wildlife and with droughts and ever shrinking habitats that's a life saver these days.
How many can you crowd into a box that size? I just got a 1/4# of chinkapin seeds in the mail. They're already starting to sprout. Wondering if i can fit them all in a box that size.
What should I do special to store these currant seeds I just got from you?
I just got mine, and some of them already have emerging roots. Yay! I have an air prune bed ready to go. And tons n tons of wood chips to bury them under till Spring. Thanks Akiva! Now I'm off to search up a currant storage video. Finger's crossed you have one. ;)
Thanku for this information! I'm in the UK and we are having a 'mast' year...and the amount of seeds the Beech are producing is AMAZING!! Do you have the same 'mast' years in the USA?
Ive heard they are a favorite for the deer. Any trouble with that? Doesn't look like you've had much of an issue.. granted, you've planted a lot of them (maybe thats the key?).
Hi This is a good video, thanks. I’m wondering if you have made one yet on this topic looking a the twigs, bark?
Genius!
Butternut. Not butternut?
De är för nära motorvägen....😢
Thank you for doing this video !! You are 100% correct on everything you said !! The Autumn Olive WAS put here for a reason, just like all the other helpful, natural herbs God put on this earth to let us heal ourselves, and to heal this planet ! It truly is misunderstood and under appreciated! Just like with dandelions, people spend millions per year on chemicals to destroy them. People are so close minded and don’t even try to research and read about the wonderful and helpful benefits they offer to the earth, to people and sometimes animals !! Thank you for explaining some GOOD AND POSITIVE things about the Autumn Olive Berry !
The other day, I was at a county park with my 4-year-old son, enjoying some silver berries. I noticed people giving us strange looks, almost as if we were doing something wrong.
Highly invasive!
In your opinion
Maybe avoid the ones growing along highway ...
Nice and straightforward. Thank you.
Good job. Thanks man!!
Okay I know you collecting the chestnuts but they're not edibles it's FYI
What country is it?
i love yara
let's go swamp milkweed!
love it!
Your a blessing to the internet Thx 4 sharing
We have mostly Prunus padus here in central Europe, it's bird cherry, do you have that too? It's great for birds, kind of protecting our other fruits for human consumption. I didn't taste it yet, but it has much smaller and completely black fruit, maybe not even edible for humans. Otherwise the leaves, the bark, the bigger, more lighte coloured buds are the same as you described. I would love to have P. virginiana for like a multi purpose tree.
Is growing this from seed challenging, would you recommend air prune beds for them?
No, they're pretty easy. Just need to protect seeds from mice
