Allegheny Chinquapin not to be confused with chinquapin oaks. Anyone try them? My new property is in zone 5 so I’m going to try them. Akiva makes it looks like you’d want to have these on your property if you could. These have almost 15% protein. Nearly 3x chestnuts and oaks.

Never tried them. I might in zone 5. From what I can tell, nutrients aren't a limiting factor here for antler or body growth. All I'm interested in using food for is attraction and holding power.
Who or what is Akiva?

There’s a Chinkapin oak that does well in Missouri. I don’t recall which one ?

According to Phil Stark it’s Dwarf Chinkapin & regular Chinkapin. Both growing fast!

I have Dwarf Chinkapin and Chinkapin in KS. Both produce reliably with heavy crops. Even though I have them native and there are plenty of them once they start to drop they don't last long. They drop early (Sept) and get vacuumed up quickly. I don't think they ever last more than a week.

Who or what is Akiva? Akiva Silver is the person in the video that I posted that isn’t always showing. He’s into growing trees and plants. Has a YouTube channel. He’s southwestern NY runs a nursery called Twisted Tree Farm. www.twisted-tree.net/youtube.com/@akivasilver-twistedtreefar3930 Here’s the link if the video doesn’t show. |

I got word the Allegheny Chinkapin I ordered from Route 9 Coop are on the way except they’re only shipping 5 instead of the 10 I ordered. I think I’ll plant them in bags for this summer and plant them on the new land next spring if it gets logged.

I received the Allegheny Chinkapin today from Route9 Cooperative. They were packaged well and in great condition. They actually did ship me 10 so they were $8 a piece including shipping. They were all healthy and 18-24” in height. I’ll keep them at home this year in hopes I get the property logged and fields made. I’d recommend Route 9 if you’re looking for chestnut seedlings and nuts and Allegheny Chinkapin. I didn’t have a lot of soil to use 3 gallon pots so I used what I had available. I’ll repot or plant in my nursery wintering bed if they out grow these this year. route9cooperative.com/  |

Allegheny Chinquapin
I ordered around 30 seedlings that I was going to split with a buddy, but I received around 60. So ended up planting 30 this past winter. The place I ordered from slips my mind right now, but it was from a tree farm in Florida. Great customer service. Not big on internet but great on the phone. They came all bareroot with stupid long roots. Some of the roots were longer than the trees were tall. Did some major root prunnig.
Tubed half, caged the other half. Mowed over 2 that I didn't see to protect. 2 tubed ones have passed. The rest looking great. With some greener then others. But overall great.
My reason for writing this is they are supposed to produce early. Like 3-6 years. 2 of the trees (both in tubes) are already putting out catkins. 2 each per tree. They are barely over 15". I am really looking forward in the coming years of how these trees grow and produce.
Thanks eric
