Prior to the early 1900’s, American chestnuts were once the crown jewels of North American hardwood forests extending from New England to the Southeast. Highly valued for their beauty, wildlife value, edible nuts, and their prized wood, these majestic trees once dominated many natural landscapes in Eastern North America - but sadly were all but wiped out in the first half of the 20th Century by chestnut blight. There have been a number of attempts to bring back the American chestnut - which so far have been unsuccessful - but with recent developments in genetic technology, new exciting prospects are now emerging that bring promise to restoring this iconic tree.
