In order to select the most resistant chestnut trees in our Backcross Orchards, we test the trees by inoculating them with two strains of blight fungus. We will be inoculating our Middletown Backcross Orchard at Higby Reservoir on Wednesday, June 26th at 8:30 AM. Since access to Higby Reservoir is restricted, please contact us at gro.fcat@retpahCTC for directions to the orchard if you would like to help.
