One of the greatest ecological disasters the US has ever seen. Chestnut blight wiped out the American chestnut tree in less than 50 years.⁠ A tree that once made up nearly 25% of the eastern forests was reduced to a functionally extinct species.⁠ ⁠ The Asian fungus Cryphonectria parasitica was accidentally introduced into the United States in the late 1800s. While a few diseased chestnuts were noted in the 1880s and 90s, it wasn't until 1904 that the pathogen was identified in New York City. Fro

I sent in samples of two chestnut trees growing in the woods of my local park, and after testing, it was determined that they were American Chestnuts! My goal now is to find as many pollinated nuts as I can so I can send them into organizations who are working on bringing this species back. Unfortunately, most fruits are full of unpollinated nuts, but I’ll keep trying. #trees #American #chestnuts #chestnut #americanchestnut #tree #arborist #philly #philadelphia | Andrew The Arborist

This is a chestnut tree, but is it the Chinese chestnut or the very uncommon to find a mature American Chestnut. All my research points to Chinese but the key tipping points are the leathery leaves and visible lenticils on the twigs. Lenticils are like the pores of the tree-visible on cherry and birch trees too. I’m heading out to check on some land I won in an auction that has what I believe is an American chestnut tree, baby, but still. I’m bringing a small branch from this tree so I can compa

There are a few putative survivor American Chestnut trees growing in Philadelphia, but they’ve never been tested. I’m sending in a sample of two nearby trees to the PA/NJ chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation! In ~2 months, we should know more about the tree and if it’s actually a resistant American chestnut, or a hybrid of some sort. I’ll keep you all updated! #trees #americanchestnut #castaneadentata #chestnut #tree #arborist #urbanforestry #philadelphia #philly #chestnutblight | Andrew
