  • Question
    Do roots spread out just below the surface, or do they grow very deep, similar to oak trees?

    The roots grow deep and can become very big. Note that the tree grows a vertical root, and then smaller roots from the main root.

  • Question
    How far from a house should I plant a chestnut tree, and do chestnut trees lose their leaves in the winter?
    Community Answer
    They do lose their leaves in the cooler climates. Planting it 40 feet from the house will allow it to fully mature, though you might want to locate it farther away if you like to walk barefoot.

    Is there a method of testing the nut for good or bad when wanting to use it as seed?

    No, all you can do is plant them indoors and then only keep those which have sprouted.
