[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chestnuts?[/quote] There are no more chestnuts -- they were wiped out by some kind of blight.[/quote] The internet supports the chestnut poster. From a Georgetown Univ. website: "There are large isolated trees that still survive and fruit in the U.S. I visited a large, spreading tree near Pellston, MI (in the northern part of the Lower Peninsula) in 1978, which might still be alive. Other large American Chestnuts live in northern Michigan at the periphery of the American Chestnut's original range. A 30-foot American Chestnut grows at the Mohican Swimming Pool, Bethesda, MD. It might have survived as a seedling during the great chestnut die off. About 10 50-foot chestnut trees grow on Persimmon Tree Road, near Holly-leaf Road, Bethesda, MD. These large surviving trees might be American Chestnuts that are resistant to the Chestnut Blight, have escaped it, or both."[/quote]
