Japanese chestnut and Chinese chestnut, as well as Seguin's chestnut and Henry's chestnut, have been used in these breeding programs in the US to create disease-resistant hybrids with the American chestnut. [27] Chinese chestnut trees have been found to have the highest resistance to chestnut blight; [17] however, individuals within the Chinese ...
Castanea mollissima. † Percentages estimated using US recommendations for adults, [2] except for potassium, which is estimated based on expert recommendation from the National Academies. [3] Castanea mollissima, also known as the Chinese chestnut, is a species of chestnut tree in the family Fagaceae that is native to China, Taiwan, and Korea. [4]
The American chestnut (Castanea dentata) is a large, fast-growing deciduous tree of the beech family native to eastern North America. [3] As is true of all species in the genus Castanea, the American chestnut produces burred fruit with edible nuts. The American chestnut was once one of the most important forest trees throughout its range, [4][5 ...

Darling 58. The Darling 58 is a genetically engineered American chestnut tree. The tree was created by American Chestnut Research & Restoration Program at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF) in collaboration with The American Chestnut Foundation (TACF) [1] to restore the American chestnut to ...
The mission of The American Chestnut Foundation (TACF) is to restore the American chestnut tree to the forests of Eastern North America by breeding genetically diverse blight-resistant trees, evaluating various approaches to the management of chestnut pests and pathogens, and reintroducing the trees into the forest in an ecologically acceptable manner.
The American chestnut, virtually eliminated from eastern forests, survived in small isolated pockets. Some survivors have been cross-bred with the blight-resistant Chinese chestnut and introduced into National Forests in trial studies. Parasitoid wasps have been approved for release by the USDA to combat the emerald ash borer. Pesticide ...
Chestnut trees are of moderate growth rate (for the Chinese chestnut tree) to fast-growing for American and European species. [4] Their mature heights vary from the smallest species of chinkapins, often shrubby, [5] to the giant of past American forests, C. dentata that could reach 60 metres (200 feet).
