@kat_and_rainier: Many won’t understand just how rare it is to see an American chestnut tree that is mature enough to fruit. I feel so emotionally grateful to have experienced this miracle tree. To have touched it’s bark and experienced it’s energy. #americanchestnuttree #appalachianartist #chestnuttree #appalachianmountains

Won’t the blight pass into the seeds?

The American chestnut blight is another huge contributing factor to the great depression and was directly responsible for the popularity of moonshine, and the creation of Nascar.

...oh, It was wood salvaged and stored away after the blight killed the trees in western Virginia

I love how more people are talking about the American Chestnut, especially after the Wild Kratts episode that came out about them!!!

Pip, the helpful :
apparently packing soil against the bark will kill out some of the blight due to the microwave in the soil. They are the reason the roots stay healthy longer, and why many killed chestnuts shoot off new growth that later dies

Rub soil on the tree in the fungal spots, the soil actually acts as a reducer for the fungi, it doesn’t stop it completely but it reduces the size! Almost like cleaning an infection!

I know. I inherited a American chestnut chest of drawers. when the wood it was made of was pulled out of dark storage, it still had some blue in the grain. that's faded away now. the old guy that gave the wood to my father described how big the trees could be.
