    Grafting trees is rather a technical business, and differs widely from specie to specie, and situation to situation. I urge you to do some serious research on this matter if you want to be successful. You could consult with the nearest county extension service, to see what they recommend. This link will help you locate the nearest office: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/what-is-extension-service.htm

    You can go ahead and move the seedling into a pot of good organic soil.

    It can remain in the pot until the following spring, then planted outdoors.

    A Chinese Chestnut should be grown as a single trunk.They are a wider growing tree, but you will want a single trunk.
    All suckers should be removed as soon as they grown.

    Yellowing of leaves can indicate watering issues; too much or too little.
    Check the soil, it should be moist but never dry or soggy.
    Make sure your plants are receiving full sun.
