During my bonsai education, I encountered the tragic story of the American Chestnut. I heard on NPR recently that a grove of them was discovered in Georgia. These are magnificent trees, as I'm sure many of you know. The redwoods of the midwest. Monsterous.
At any rate, you can order seeds and seedlings from the American Chestnut society, and I think I'm gonna give it a try. (I don't care much about whether it miniaturizes well or not, I'll try to discover whatever genius the tree has.)
But, I'm curious if anyone here has tried one or not?
