Sweet chestnut question

(1/2) > >>

Plantinyum:
Hi, I am wondering if this plant is grafted... I bought it this spring. Do they flower at such an young age from seeds? I am thinking it may be grafted since its flowering so small.
Another question is, are they self fertile ?? At the last photo, I think this is the graft line ???Thanks for any insight on my questions !!

Hi,
Here in France, in my region, there are plenty of chestnut ( it's always a pleasure to gather them in autumn.. )and I can say that I never saw such a young tree bears flowers, so I think it has been grafted, you have a grafted chestnut:)

thanks for the feedback !! I actually contacted the seller and he confirmed that its grafted !! It was a nice surprise to see it flower ,even thought with male flowers only.
