My name is Clifford Olson. I am a American Chestnut enthusiast and breeder from Connecticut and am interested in obtaining pure American Chestnut seeds from your state. I have an orchard that currently has many American trees from Virginia in it and as spring is just around the corner, I am hoping to greatly expand it soon with trees from many other states as well. My goal is to obtain seeds/seedlings from as many mother trees as possible from every state so that I can preserve the gene pool for the time being and eventually repopulate the surrounding area. Collecting pure American Chestnut trees is a true passion of mine and I have been doubling my recent efforts to obtain seeds from as many surviving American Chestnut trees as I can. Unfortunately getting to each state in the original range and searching about for the rare surviving mother trees is a daunting task, although a welcome one. I do not know if you have any pure American Chestnut seeds available that you are willing to part with or not, but I would be DELIGHTED to have some if they are available. I can use as many as you are willing to give. They would be well watered, protected, and taken care of. I can send you some money. If none are available, I will be disappointed but understand completely! Pure American Chestnuts from local trees are a rare and beautiful thing. Thank you for your time! I look forward to hearing from you!<br>
