If it was in the woods, I think it's not likely to be Chinese- I don't think
they "escape". My father planted a few in our front lawn back in the '60s so I
grew up watching them grow. They looked from a distance like very large apple
trees- nothing like the stately forest American chestnut. They never seemed
very healthy.

Barry,
You are a one man army. Keep up the good work. I'll let the more
knowledgeable plant identifiers pass judgement on the chestnut, but keep up the
email production. You're showing us a side of New Jersey that we would not
otherwise see.

ENTS,
About a week ago I put up a 4-part video series on my Youtube account
of a hike down a dirt road and trail nearby. I announced it to the group and
got no response. In part 1 of the series, I came upon a Chestnut tree and asked
for help in identifying it. I would think that if anyone watched the videos,
that the chestnut tree would have been brought up for discussion. But I guess
not. Anyway, can any of you tell my looking at the leaves and bark whether a
Chestnut is a Chinese or American? That's what I asked while I was filming.
Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/MillerMeteor74
I enjoy other people's posts and I say so after I read them.
Thanks,
Barry
