American Chestnut Seedlings

These 100% American chestnut seedlings have been carefully grown from seeds collected in our conservation orchard.  But, like all wild-type American chestnuts, they are susceptible to blight. Many of these mother trees survived multiple deliberate blight inoculations and some trees are over 30 years old.
