planted. Set stake while planting to avoid driving it into roots. 
Cut back 

space is limited, 40x40. The chestnut requires plenty of light and air. Sixty 
feet between the rows and 30 feet apart in the row is the best plan. This 
takes 24 trees to the acre. Take out every other tree in row before they 
crowd. This plan allows inter cropping of the wide row for a number of 
years. Seedling trees may be used for the interplants. 
Planting— Dig holes 2x2 feet all around. With sharp knife remove broken 
whip trees one-half and allow one strong shoot to grow to six feet where it 
may be headed. Branched trees cut back to 3 or 4 branches and head in 
branches to 3 buds from trunk. Encourage growth to one central leader, 
which is Nature’s way. DON’T TRAIN TO VASE FORM, as trees will split 
apart with weight of the crop. Shade trunk for first few years with Yucca 
Tree Protectors (see page 3) or two thin boards. ;
