The trees in the UTC nursery are growing very well this season. There are currently about 2,000 trees growing in 2-gallon containers. Nuts were planted directly into the containers in February 2013. UTC student, Anash Parmar, who is 5′ 4″ tall, has been helping take care of the seedlings this year

Now is the time to become a member of TACF!
For many years, The American Chestnut Foundation has offered its members access to a Wild-Type American Chestnut Seedling Sale. The sale was extremely popular, often selling out in under an hour. TACF recognized that its positive impact was limited due to short supply. In addition, seedlings couldn’t be shipped west of the Mississippi due to concerns about spreading chestnut blight.
To address these issues, beginning in spring 2025, TACF will offer its members the opportunity to purchase wild-type chestnut seeds (nuts) instead. Like the seedlings, these seeds come from verified wild-type American chestnuts grown in the wild or in TACF chapter-run Germplasm Conservation Orchards. We look forward to offering this updated and expanded seed sale to members in spring 2025!
