Whoa that is quite a tree. Yours?
We just planted a dozen of them. At 75 I doubt I’ll lay under their shade but what wonderful trees to grow
Did you plant chinese chestnuts, american chestnuts or the new hybrids?
(I wonder why the european chestnuts mentioned in this article were not hit by the blight—like their american chestnut counterparts.)
I would assume that since the US has looked to the chinese chestnut for blight resistance—the european chestnut trees did not have such resistance. If so why were they not struck by the blight—as happened in the USA
Not my tree. I posted it from the article. Impressive!
