Great video! Would have liked to have been here when the settlers first came and seen what it was like back then.
Indeed, brother. God created an almost perfect tree, and we have unfortunately caused its destruction. It is fascinating to contemplate the magnificence of those enormous trees, not to mention the abundance of chestnuts they provided. I'm jealous of the sites are forefathers got to behold.
Excellent work! 👍👍 This is a very informative and interesting documentary video. I hope it gets a million views! May God speed the return of the Great American Chestnut. 🌰
As much time as I put into it I hope it gets a decent amount. Thank you for watching!
As a scandinavian, this is something i just didn't know. Great documentary style video!
It may sound a bit wierd, but i'm a bit of a tree enthusiast, keeping an orchard and loving the history and evolution of these grand grasses. Again, great video!
Even though it took forever I did enjoy making it. Thank you for watching!
Nothing weird about loving God's creation.
Appreciate your contribution to American Chestnut lore. To restore this national treasure ought to be one of the nation's highest priorities. It was upsetting to see at 1:28 the loggers cutting down such a grand old specimen! I doubt anyone would do that today, as conservation attitudes have improved a lot. I agree about the option of using a gene transplant to attain immunity from the blight. The polemics made against it have little substance, in my opinion.
If those majestic behemoths were alive today, they would undoubtedly be protected. It would be a breathtaking sight to witness. Those who oppose genetically modified trees have no reason to object to the revival of the American chestnut, and should remain silent on the matter.
Frank, that tree at 1:28 is a Redwood in California. See the fine print. But no matter, this is a very educational video.
Damn. I cried watching this. Thank you for the info and passion.
There is still hope and a future for these trees and our beautiful ecosystems.
You're clipping a bit. Turn down the gain to 9 o'clock next time. 👍🏻
Well done, hoss!
Thanks for the video!! Very educational. As a homeowner who lost a mature Ash tree to the emerald ash borer, it was uplifting to hear about the breeding efforts.
Thanks for the video. I’ve bought some chestnut seedlings, nuts and cuttings to try to grow trees in SE Texas, after hearing of their demise in the US and tasting chestnuts in Europe. God willing, some will survive and reproduce. I’ll be happy to graft good stock on older stumps once I have some. As long as something survives we have hope.
I have 2 large American Chestnut trees on my property.. they seem very healthy, producing abundant nuts each year...
Where do you live if you don’t mind me asking?

Proud of you keep up the good videos on the American Chestnut 🌰
Thank you! Will do!
Very nice, I like the background music. How about a video on biochar and planting trees in rich soil would be cool. Your future in outdoor success is promising, not only do you know how to work well with your hands but you’re very talented in talking about it, you my friend are blessed with a gift. Keep the Americana outdoor life alive!
I got a copyright claim for the music I used; I forgot to give credit before the video finished publishing to private. Thankfully, the copyright claim has no effect on the video other than not being able to be monetized, but I'm not monetized yet anyway. I'll keep this idea noted. Thank you very much and thank you for watching!
What a great video! I love the documentary style of video you did!
Thank you it means a lot! This is probably the best video I ever made.
@@YankeeValleyOutdoors yeah I definitely believe that, it was very good!
@@YankeeValleyOutdoors do you think you’ll do more videos like this? If you do, do you have any ideas on what they’d be on?
@@arduous1914 I think I'll do one on the ash tree next. I'll definitely do more I'm open to ideas.
@@YankeeValleyOutdoors yeah that sounds cool!
While hunting early fall about 1990 on North Fork Herrods Creek , Skylight, Oldham Co. KY. Found fruit and trees on the creek slopes.
Great work! What state did you find those two in? So cool.
Pennsylvania
Well done !
Thank you!!
I’d like to plant chestnut trees on my property
Great post.
I have an old barrel table where the person used a lid with a chestnut stamp on it to make the bottom. Any idea what these chestnut barrels looked like? I'm wondering if the body was from the same barrel.
Vary cool ,who knows in a couple years you can grow your own Darling 58.
Thanks Americans chestnut heritage foundation, reclone , George Washington Carver
Great job
Thank you 💙
Very sad
Nice job bud.
Thank you for watching! The chestnuts should be germinating soon.
eastern us the chestnut trees were never as thick as claimed. yeah there were lots in many places but not as claimed.
Waiting on darling 58 to be allowed
American chestnut foundation withdrew the application for darling 58 because they are dying. They found the trees are stunted as well.
@@chrisk1669 :( saw that few days ago. Well to the next attempt.
@@chrisk1669from what I understand was that there was a mistake down the line with switching darling 58 and 54 which ultimately ruined the most promising darling 58
My friend that lives near Vincennes ind. Has an old chestnut tree. He is giving me a bucket of nuts this week to plant here at my place. And I'm buying 10 hybrids this fall. Wish me much luck.
