Fantastic!!! Would love to see the Chestnut tree sometime. Recall seeing stumps or decaying Chestnut logs when I was young. Dad would tell me what that were.

Kentucky Color: American Chestnut Dinosaur

By Billy Joe Fudge

According to many, Adair County's huge American chestnut is Kentucky's most famous tree. It is famous because it just might be the largest American chestnut to have survived the blight that killed every other of the species East of the Mississippi River.

Now, it's fame is poised to spread far and wide. Seasonal Kentucky Forest Ranger Jackie Goodin, retired Ranger Kenny Pyles and Ranger Ricky Parnell joined this ol' retired District Forester on Charles England's farm last week to collect scion material from our old friend. The material has been sent to Penn State University for genetic evaluation. Some of the scions will be grafted to root stock for future evaluation and study.
