I am wondering who would be interested in knowing about 2 mature
American Chestnut Trees in northern Michigan near the Traverse City
area - if you don't know of them already.
I saw these trees about 12 years ago. At that time it appeared that the
blight was affecting one of the tree's lower limb. These were clear
single trunk trees that had a diameter of about 4 ft at the chest. If I
remember correctly. They were large tall timber type trees. I also have
knowledge of a tree in the Detroit suburbs that I saw that is more of
a Globe shaped tree with large low growing limbs. This tree was/is
about 40 - 50 ft tall and had a large trunk.
I have a about 500 chestnuts (asiatic) and 100 Dunstan trees on my
property in southern michigan that are 10-15 years old and range in
height of 8-15 ft. tall and are producing great nuts.
If anyone is interested to follow up on this info my email is
