Margaret, as far as the American Chestnut Tree goes, I don't know much. I see that there is a
preservation society trying to breed blight-resistant trees from existing survivors. There's a page of
photographs of existing trees, but locations are not very specific. I will throw the question out to my readers:
Do you know of any surviving American chestnut trees? Especially in New England. My friend would like to visit one (or many).
