Re: The American Chestnut Foundation & Dunstan?
One thing Greg Miller once said at a gathering of growers is that the Chinese species more frequently produce trees true to type from seed and that he selects that as a trait so you can use that to your advantage if you'd like to save some money. Qing is one Chinese variety that I am growing and it's produced some nuts but isn't growing great here. A friend of mine from nearby "discovered" the mother tree in Kentucky in a front yard and sent nuts and cuttings to Greg who agreed it was a great find. It has had problems with delayed graft rejection but mine was grafted onto a Qing seedling and has been fine for maybe 6-7 years.
