They will sprout into seedlings but the fungus that attacks them will kill them before they can really mature We were given a chestnut seedling from a wilderness area to grow in our yard. The theory is to keep the species alive until the fungus can be eradicated. Our chestnut is about 20 feet tall - I just went out to check. It also has some of the spiny green things on it that I hadn't noticed before.That's usually the limit of their growth before the fungus gets to them. Are there any oaks in your yard or neighborhood? Red oaks are actually hosts for the fungus so keep an eye out for them.

Great idea! Does OP's MIL like goat cheese? What a great gift! Now she can make her own. Once she gets done breeding them so they actually produce milk. And figures out to milk them. And how about some chickens so she can have fresh eggs. Providing she figures out how to get them away from the chicken without losing a hand in the process. Ooops, I forgot the cow.
