I have approximately 30 All American Chestnut trees growing in what is known as the Paty Grove.

I have 20 more at a second site

The trees are from similar crosses with old Chestnut trees that have escaped the blight. they are second and third generation crosses.I have 6 trees that produce nuts. One is blight free. The others exhibit some symptoms.

I work with The American Chestnut Cooperators Foundation. The scientists allow no Asian or European genes and are working with All American trees.

Here's the website http://ipm.ppws.vt.edu/griffin/accf.html
