small chestnut trees to start growing.

I have a couple of Chinese chestnuts that I bought trees mail order

You might try emailing the folks at Delmarvelous Farms. *They were very
helpful in informing me to getting the weevils controlled.

I dont know about weevil control but have some experience with mice..
I shot one with my berretta 22 pistol a few years back from about 10'
away... thought I missed, then a few days later in better light I
saw tiny red specs and tiny fragments of grey fur.

with weevils you would probably have to get a little closer.
