Last Friday, led by Reinhardt University's Kylie Stover and TACF's Jamie van Clief, nearly 90 hybrid chestnuts were planted at the Austin Flint orchard just north of Waleska. These chestnuts were pre-screened for Phytophthora root rot (PRR) resistance at Clemson University by Dr. Steve Jeffers and his crew. Those planted were the top performers that are expected to carry genetic resistance to this lethal chestnut disease. Here are just a few pics from the day! Volunteers included:
Hayden Stover
Charles West
Hailey Gregorich
Julia Hunt
Vinny Varsalona
Cassidy Wallace
CareyJo Titus
Mike Lloyd
