A few weeks ago I found a Chestnut. It's about a mile from here as the crow flies. It's on a trail that is an extension of a dirt road. All along the trail there are native pine barrens trees until suddenly you come across a couple of white pines and a chestnut. I have no idea of whether it's an American or Chinese though. From memory I'm guessing it was 6 to 8 inches in diamater, maybe.

It concentrates it's attention on the American Chestnut but is open to all Castanea species. On the American tree I have set the lower limit for height at 25 feet but exceptions can be made if the tree for example has a really wide spread or large girth. This is my first real attempt at using Microsoft Excel so excuse me if it is a bit crude. I gleaned the data from ENTS posts on the Chestnut Project page of the ENTS website as well as other places on our website. It should become better and more complete as time goes on. Get out there and measure some Chestnuts! Thank you Ed for your help and encouragement on the Chestnut Project.
