CRESSONA — Seeds lying deep inside a sleepy hillside orchard could play a crucial role in the regeneration of the embattled American chestnut tree. Early Friday morning, a team of volunteers dropped about 1,000 nut-like Chestnut seeds into 18-inch-deep holes with the hope they would germinate into blight-resistant Chestnut trees. The initiative marks the final phase of a 25-year project to revive the beloved American chestnut tree, which was virtually wiped out by a blight that struck early in t

Ready for a downer? It's time to talk about chestnut blight. The American chestnut used to be one of the dominant trees in the eastern forests, until a non-native fungus was introduced from Asia in the late 1800's and wiped them out. Today there are almost no mature American chestnut trees left. But the question is, do our American chestnut friends Cassie & Denny have blight? Let's find out. | The American Chestnut Foundation

One of the greatest ecological disasters the US has ever seen. Chestnut blight wiped out the American chestnut tree in less than 50 years.⁠ A tree that once made up nearly 25% of the eastern forests was reduced to a functionally extinct species.⁠ ⁠ The Asian fungus Cryphonectria parasitica was accidentally introduced into the United States in the late 1800s. While a few diseased chestnuts were noted in the 1880s and 90s, it wasn't until 1904 that the pathogen was identified in New York City. Fro

This summer, we’re aiming to produce 1,000 hand-pollinated nuts for our genomic-assisted breeding program, and each one is a vital step toward restoring the American chestnut. Producing a single nut takes time, tools, and teamwork. From pollination to harvest, every step is a vital part of the process to ensure that each nut has the best chance possible to grow into a more blight-resistant tree. Here’s what goes into a single $25 nut: Pollination Bag: $5 Hand Pollination Process: $5 Harvesting t

Wildlife love chestnuts! TACF's Website Administrator, Hal Brindley, has a tall Chinese chestnut tree in his yard in Asheville, NC and the chestnuts have been falling the last couple weeks. He keeps a camera trap on a water dish beneath it and he captured video of 6 different mammals eating chestnuts just last week! If you find a chestnut tree in the United States today, it is most likely a Chinese chestnut because they have a high resistance to chestnut blight. TACF is working to breed blight-r

“Tie Dye Chestnut” Every time someone orders the “Tie Dye Chestnut” print, I get excited. This piece of American chestnut is so beautiful and super special. When I print this piece I picture a story I once read… Before the Chestnut blight swept through the countryside, the American Chestnut was a dominant species. Covering the eastern U.S., abundant in the Appalachian Mountains, 1 in every 4 hardwood trees was an A. Chestnut. In late spring, they burst into bloom with their fragrant white catkin

It's always a good day when I find an American chestnut tree. It's an even better day when I find an American chestnut tree of a decent size. Admittedly, I mostly feel this way because American chestnut isn't an incredibly common species where I live. A fungal disease known as chestnut blight kills most American chestnuts. The fungus cuts off the flow of water and nutrients within trees. Starved of nutrients, the trunks of American chestnuts die. But the roots remain alive. They give rise to spr

Did you know we have a dwarf Chestnut native to Florida? Common Chinquapin (aka Allegheny Chinquapin) Castanea pumila Fagaceae (Beech & Oak Family) The nuts are much smaller than those of the American Chestnut, Castanea dentata, which is also native to Florida. Though small, Chinquapin nuts are still just as edible and delicious. Chinquapin is a small tree found in sandhills and other xeric uplands across the Coastal Plain - including north-central Florida and the panhandle. It resembles a dwarf
