Years ago, my mother told me that her parents had, on their farm, a chestnut which died years ago, but that a new one had grown up since then. I assumed it was an American chestnut, killed by blight. But when I finally got a chance to examine it, it turned out to be a European chestnut. I had really hoped that there might be a surviving American chestnut in that rather isolated valley in WV.

Lots of folks interested in chestnut developments on DU, to judge by a quick DUgle.
