Just a comment. A beautiful place about 1 1/2 hour North of NYC still has
chestnuts growing and proliferating. Unfortunately, they are susceptible
to the fungus and die before getting more than about 3 inches in diameter.
One hopes that somehow nature and Darwin will yield a truly resistant
variant of the species.
