Having been given dozens of buckeye nuts I decided to plant them and see what would happen. I've perused the internet and learned the germination is quite low. They are supposedly great deer and squirrel food.
I stuck them in the ground last Sept. / Oct. and now have MANY trees appearing (80?).
I would like to ask the forum---now what?
Can I dig them up and move them to a permanent location now or wait?
How far apart should they be placed?
Shade / sun?
Any info would be useful to me! I have the room for them and plan on getting more nuts this fall.
The internet does not answer directly all my questions-even the .edu sites! I thought it would be something fun to grow here in South Dakota!
