The American Chestnut. I do believe the University of Virginia has salvaged this beauty and now owns the patent on the American Chestnut. A chosen few are allowed to grow this variety...under the scrutiny of the University of VA.

The American chestnut tree (Castanea dentata) was once a dominant species in the Appalachian Mountains, an integral part of the forest ecosystem and the culture of the region. Known as the “redwood of the East,” these towering trees, some reaching over 100 feet tall, provided a reliable source of food, wood, and income for Appalachian communities. Chestnuts were a staple for wildlife, and their rot-resistant wood was highly valued for building and furniture making.

However, in the early 20th century, a devastating fungal blight, Cryphonectria parasitica, arrived from Asia and wiped out nearly all mature American chestnut trees in Appalachia and beyond. Within a few decades, the blight had reduced a forest giant to a rare sprout, as the fungus killed the trees above ground while their roots still managed to send up shoots that would eventually succumb again.

The loss of the American chestnut was more than an environmental catastrophe. It dealt a heavy blow to the Appalachian economy, particularly to rural farmers who relied on chestnut sales and the tree’s many uses. The chestnuts were a major fall crop, traded in markets and used as food for livestock.

Today, efforts are underway to restore the American chestnut to its former glory. Scientists and conservationists have developed blight-resistant hybrids, combining the genetics of American and Chinese chestnuts. Reintroducing these resilient trees into Appalachia could not only restore an iconic species but also revitalize local ecosystems and provide renewed economic benefits to the region. For Appalachians, the American chestnut tree is a symbol of resilience, a reminder of the region’s deep-rooted connection to the land and the ongoing efforts to preserve its natural heritage.

" Helene did a bit more damage than we anticipated and we will need time to repair and recover our farm. As my friend Mike, owner of .grub, said to me “better apple trees than lives” and that cannot be any truer! "
