Alabama friends! 🌰 The Alabama Chapter of The American Chestnut Foundation is officially resprouting! Join us for our Annual Meeting to reconnect, elect new officers, and plan the future of chestnut restoration in Alabama. 2 CommentsComment on Facebook I can't make that meeting, but I've been a TACF member in AL for many years. Just a question regarding planting chestnuts in Iowa. I understand that not all states allow them. Perhaps I am wrong ? I think California prohibits them ? Does anyone know, are chestnut trees planted on private property allowed in Iowa ?
Chestnut blight changed everything. Watch how this deadly fungus transformed a once-mighty tree. 6 CommentsComment on Facebook The last time I saw a chestnut tree was 50 years ago in Detroit. I was a kid and saw the trees lined up and down our street die one by one. Has anyone ever tried spraying copper sulfate & lime mixture on a tree to kill the fungus Wonder if the genes can be changed on the blight fungus so it will die off. |
