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.

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.

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!

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.

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!
