Would it get a lot bigger if it didn't get the blight? If so, how much?
A wild American chestnut is always a sight to see, especially one with a healed canker.
Have you found any wild American chestnuts?

Quite a few around us in CT, but none that big. I assume what we are seeing are stump sprouts.
God, I hope it has developed genetic resistance and passes that on. I want to live in a world full of American Chestnuts and Elms again
At my art residency in WV there was an American chestnut tree in their yard! I cried! I collected some of the seed pods
Every season tells a story… 🌰

Raping the earth really noble 🤬
Check out this reel by the Seed Crown Company! They are testing whether Seed Crown shelters can help with direct seeding chestnuts in a forest setting.
In this video, Scott Laseter heads out to a montane longleaf restoration area on Georgia's Pine Mountain for the first tally of a direct seeding trial for American chestnuts.
