Gil, I think I remember reading somewhere that Chestnut was the dominant hardwood in Southeastern forests before the blight...Geo
OK, read the article. Make that 25% instead of dominate hardwood species. The site of the trees found at Pine Mountain is pretty close to the farm where we hunted this Spring in Upson County. During the Cold War, the area was advertised as one of the best places to avoid radioactive fallout in case of a Nuclear attack. Something about the configuration of the mountains and prevailing winds. Maybe that has something to do with the Chestnuts not being infected?...Geo
