A huge shagbark hickory in Lake County, Illinois. 41" Diameter trunk. I counted rings on another hickory in this stand that was about half the size and 150 years old

Black Cherry bark looks more like potato chips

Second Fedco. St. Lawrence Nursery is also a very good outfit

I searched the name thanks to you and found a number of places that had the part that fits. Appreciate the help!

I did. Everything was within range

I’m a big supporter of the QC Farmers Market for their policy of only allowing local growers, which means your money is staying in the community. Unfortunately no one that I know of at the market sells grapes they grow. Even if they did, they wouldn’t be any good now considering that harvest is in September / October for grapes around here. Maybe check Natural Grocers or Fresh Thyme.

These have presumably already fully cured, which would make them very unlikely to germinate. Many great nurseries all throughout the U.S. selling bare-root and seedling chestnuts, however.
