    My friend’s dad just built a new house and he’s got some resistant Chestnut trees he got from Cornell planted around his place. Really excited to see them grow.

      I’d like to get some planted in my neighborhood.

      I’m gonna petition the HoA to plant some where we just had a few old trees fall, and then just do it if they don’t listen.

    Bring back roasting chestnuts over an open fire!

      Maybe the American ones taste better, but the store bought ones I had years ago were disappointing. Maybe you need to dress them up, these were plain.

  TIL there are trees called Chinquapins that are closely related to chestnuts, and that the Chinquapin oak is named after Chinquapin trees because its leaves are similar in shape. I had only ever heard of Chinquapin oaks before.

  Is that what all the spots and growths are on the leaves on all the trees this past year, or is that something different?

    That’s something different, chestnut blight attacks the inner bark layer on the trunk and girdles the tree, killing everything above that point on the trunk.
