[MassChestnutOrchards] possible new mother tree near ACF orchard in Granville, MA

[Mike or Penny Novack]

I have one too, embarrassingly* just down the road from us. In the tree 
line but could get to it with a bucket truck and would be able to get 
permission from the landowner (who showed it to Penny and then recently 
I got to see it. Was confirmed as an American years ago via UMass. I'm 
guessing the elevation around 800'. This is a large tree over a foot 
diameter and up in the canopy. I'll report on whether it is blooming but 
normally drops burrs.

* I guess I never spotted it blooming wile driving by. Well it is back 
from the road a good distance. When I say "accessible" I mean first 
going up their drive and then over grass hopefully finding a route level 
enough in terms of side slope.
