Thanks to all for the input. I found the two American Chestnuts in Chestnut Ridge County Park (go figure) in Western New York. The DBH of both are about 9". The trees are around 30 or 40 feet tall - too tall to get mature leaves for samples. I'm currently contacting the NY chapter of The American Chestnut Foundation to see 1) if these are American Chestnuts, and 2) if they are American, if these trees have already been discovered and catalogued.
