I sent a membership in and have heard nothing back, did you steal my money?
Chestnut season may be winding down, but the thrill of finding these hidden treasures never gets old.

Will Chestnut trees grow in the North?
I have several chestnut trees on my farm and they produce every year. I know the wildlife loves them. 
Wish mine would start producing

I can't make that meeting, but I've been a TACF member in AL for many years.
Just a question regarding planting chestnuts in Iowa. I understand that not all states allow them. Perhaps I am wrong ? I think California prohibits them ? Does anyone know, are chestnut trees planted on private property allowed in Iowa ?
Chestnut blight changed everything. Watch how this deadly fungus transformed a once-mighty tree.

The last time I saw a chestnut tree was 50 years ago in Detroit. I was a kid and saw the trees lined up and down our street die one by one.
Has anyone ever tried spraying copper sulfate & lime mixture on a tree to kill the fungus
Wonder if the genes can be changed on the blight fungus so it will die off.
