This past week, University of North Georgia students led by Karrie Ann Fadroski prepped and direct-seeding 100 hybrid chestnuts in their Phytophthora root rot resistance breeding orchard. This is at UNG's Hurricane Creek research station. GA-TACF's Jack Rogers helped coordinate and lead this effort. Trees were sourced from breeding orchards at Milner Farm (Frank Milner), Bottomlands (Scott Frazier), and Henry Hootin' Holler (Henry family) and were harvested and processed by Berry College students.
To learn more about this kind of collaborative work and how you might help out, please attend our annual meeting on April 12 at Kennesaw State University (see announcement on this Facebook page).
