Reply to comment by [deleted] in Are chestnut trees nearly extinct here? Today I found a tree dropping the largest chestnuts I've ever seen. by thishasntbeeneasy

I use to volunteer for the forestry department of Kentucky replanting native trees on strip mine sites. We would plant an American Chestnut hybrid which if I remember correctly was 90 percent American and 10 percent Chinese. The hybrid was way more resilient to the disease.
