American Chestnut

Description

Once the dominant tree throughout the eastern deciduous forests of the United States, where it grew to impressive dimensions of height and width. In the early 1900s, a fungal disease was introduced from Asia. By 1940, the mighty chestnut trees had been decimated by this disease. The American Chestnut Cooperators’ Foundation works toward developing blight-resistant American chestnuts and biological controls against chestnut blight.
