I have been seeing more folks planting american chestnuts. Would be great to see this species spread to its old haunts.

 They sure are trying to get as close to a straight American chestnut as they can. I know there are plantings south of here somewhere but it's not published where it's trying to be done. I know one thing after three years of drought my trees are loaded with burrs. Limbs are already bending from the load.  I might even let a few stay on the ground to share with the deer and squirrels.

I have worked with a guy in the last year that is building a Chestnut plantation near St. Gen.  Selling the nuts, seems to be pretty popular.

One of my gun guys is raising Chestnuts trees also along with several others.  I took him some White Walnut from the farm this year and he is raising a few of them for his personal grove.

I remember a few years back, @Ketchup was looking at tree farming.   I'm not sure what nuts his trees would be growing.   You still around,  Ketchup?

Watched a PBS show last night "Human Footprint" it was about extinction.  There's a segment on Chestnuts.  They mentioned there are 4 adult chestnuts that somehow have survived the fungus, they showed one of them, kind of an ugly tree, but a survivor.  If you are interested in the chestnut story, you might want to catch a rerun or it may be available on the web.
