<P>Go to National with this. See what ideas they have. Maybe they could supply nuts or saplins that have the known level of blight resistence of the F2s and F3s, instead of the random variation of the BC lines.</P>

<P>This would be a great opportunity for PR at national level.</P>

Maple is, unfortunately for the Northeast. It could be the tannins. You can find preferred species by Googling. -----Original Message----- From: masschestnutorchards-bounces@masschestnut.org on behalf of Rufin Van Bossuyt Sent: Thu 2/12/2009 6:43 PM To: masschestnutorchards@masschestnut.org; n1djb@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [MassChestnutOrchards] Worcester Tree Campaign I have read that Horsechestnut is a host. Are true chestnuts as well?

They are working to replant the areas cut down as part of the Asian Long-horned Beetle eradication program. He was calling to see if there are way in which we could support them. Although most likely not a good fit for a seed orchard, I thought that one Or two BC3 F3 seedlings would be a good fit for the city park where they are doing lots of cutting. Its good exposure for us. Has anyone received Nuts from the National distribution? I will also call National and see if there are possibilities for nuts for that end. -Jamie Hello Mr. Donalds, Thank you for taking the time to talk with me last night about the possibility of eventually planting chestnuts in Worcester. I will foward the information to Peggy Middaugh of the Worcester Tree Campaign.
