There are Bunches in Blackwater. Not sure if you're not supposed to take any tree from there or not? I don't see why you can't, they burn and mow them (all kinds of trees) down every year to plant pine trees in their place. I used to get dogwood trees. Even had a fwc drive by when I got 2 of them some years ago, one was hanging over the tailgate, I was digging the other. He didn't stop, soooo I guess it's ok.So if you got a sapling, and know how to spell it, message here...

It is best to have two different seedlings to guarantee pollination. I strongly suspect that the ones in this area are self fertile, but sources recommend having two of them. Mine is growing next to chestnuts so it will be cross pollinated.I have never seen bunches of chinquapin. Ever
There is a larger chinquapin in the OzarksCastanea pumila, commonly known as the Allegheny chinquapin, American chinquapin (from the Powhatan) or dwarf chestnut, is a species of chestnut native to the southeastern United States.

The plant's habitat is dry sandy and rocky uplands and ridges mixed with oak and hickory to 1000 m elevation. It grows best on well-drained soils in full sun or partial shade.

Precisely, they are profit drivin. Please, if any employee of the forestry service is on here, edit: I am sorry, rant over...There are Bunches in Blackwater.

It's Not the Officers Fault. They're just following orders from the Head Forestry Idiot in TallahasseePrecisely, they are profit drivin. Please, if any employee of the forestry service is on here, defend your position of killing our forests and natural habitats. They can't and they won't. Silence is the answer. Shame on you.
When I moved into my 8 plus acres in pace about 91 there was a large covey of quail in the area. Nothing was touched by Forestry or any one else except some land clearing and what has been a farm stopped. The quail disappeared. There were a lot of fox in the area and since there had not been any fires for years the underbrush (understory) was very thick. Two summers ago one did show up to sing for one day and then nothing more.There are no quail left! They killed them all! BASTARDS!
The internet is full of reports.GAINESVILLE, Fla., May 2, 2017 --The Bobwhite Quail in Florida is in trouble. In fact, populations across Florida and throughout the southeastern US have dropped from an estimated 31 million to only 5.5 million in the past 50 years. That's 80 percent of the population just gone.
