#A3285
Castanea dentata

American Chestnut
At one time, millions of these great 'Kings of the Forest' grew in the Appalachian Mountains, some nearly as large as Sequoias. Most were destroyed by a blight introduced in the 1920's, and now only a handful remain. Extensive efforts are being made to save and revitalize the American Chestnut. Most trees planted only reach about 35-40ft. in height before dying. The largest known tree is in Jackson county Tennessee (see photo). Do what you can to save these beautiful giants. Hardy to -30F (-34.4C); height: 40 ft.
