Hello Gerry,I planted a cutting from a chestnut tree some years ago, and it has not grown at all. The tree produces lovely, healthy leaves during the summer, but has not grown an inch since planting. Our soil is neutral, veering slightly towards limey, and the tree has got plenty of watering since planting. It doesn’t seem to be under attack from pests, rabbits, etc. and I am at a loss as to why it won’t grow. It is about one foot in height.I’d appreciate any suggestions you might have.
