Indiana Chapter Annual Meeting

I would like to acquire a few to see if they will grow in zone 6

How do I grow chestnut trees from my existing tree

Are these “open pollinated” plants with hybrids or are they pollinating pure C. dentata? What are the controlled populations being bagged for specifically?

Nice job! The only thing I see in New York are Chinese  chestnut trees. 

Does Missouri have a chestnut association

I see these on the ground around my property in Fairview North Carolina, 2300 feet elevation blue ridge mountains. They are chestnuts? Chinese or American?

I thought you needed to wait for the burr to fall. Can you harvest right off the tree - how do you know when to do that?

Have a good crop of chestnut still on the trees. What do I do to plantings to get more trees?

How I can harvest my chesnuts? This year I lost 99% of my chesnut production to squirrels depredation.

Do you ship seeds

This is amazing!

Hope to see more saplings at Shieling State Forest soon. I walk thru every weekend.

Is there any way to get some seedlings

Let us hope this is exceptional news, I wish we could grow chestnuts here in Kansas zone 6.

I'd love to have an American Chestnut tree in my field.

Where will they be planted?

Newbee here, why does the tree bark look so narly?

How can someone purchase seedlings

They’re fallin in Southern Ohio!

Do you ship seeds or saplings? If so will they grow in northern Michigan

Chinese chestnut trees are for sale at Walmart .. I prefer American. Where can I find them… Ohio

I remember my college days at SFA in Nacogdoches Texas 1st year dendrology . On our lab one week we were sampling trees in a neighborhood close to campus instead out in the woods. We came up on a so called (ringer) or a tree not included in our textbook. Because I had spent a lot of time in North Carolina I recognized right off as an American chestnut and got to go home early. Now how it got there nobody knows but it’s still there torturing new dendrology students today under the watchful eye of the forestry department at SFA,

They are selling saplings at fryberg fair for $20 each.

I am curious how to order seedlings? We've got acreage in Western NC mountains and we'd love to plant lots of these.

Such important work. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank for your efforts Jon!

Way cool!

I would love to get some blight resistant trees so I could spread the chestnut 🌰 tree love 🌳

Found some chestnuts while hiking in the Smokies this week.

My mom has a sizable one in her yard in Brevard, NC with no signs of blight. It has seeds every year.

I have lots of chestnut trees on my farm in WV. How do I know if they are American chestnuts or not?

Wonderful!

I truly hope that this effort is successful. It would be a great thing to see the chestnut become a major tree once again across the Eastern to Central US.

Good !

Nice finds! Here is the one I found on my farm. Western PA It's around 50 feet tall.

Awesome!

I had a chestnut 🌰 tree that got to be 40 inches round and plenty of chestnuts but one year it got dark and looked like it caught the blight. It was a shock to me because my papa had planted it from a seed. I have 2 more That look like bushes. But I’m afraid they also are prone to catching the blight.

A question for the experts…would it be possible to grow a tree in zone 5b Chicago? Congratulations on this wonderful mission.

The tree on #1 looks more like a shagbark hickory than a chestnut. I have both growing on my property.

I really need some seedlings!!!

Looks like my chestnut tree

These are blight resistant?

I love you’re using biotechnology to solve this problem. I wonder if you partner with the biotech industry you could move quicker and more efficient.

I love anyone on a mission, but I especially love THIS mission. Thank you.

Is there a report of any in Red Creek, NY?

They must have been something to behold.in Pre Columbus . America

There is a grove in Orleans, MA.

I know where some of these are in Middelsboro Kentucky where I grew up
