You should look up the American Chestnut foundation. They added one gene from wheat and it’s completely blight resistant and 99.9999% American chestnut and not hybridized

@shanestorm8805 2 жыл бұрын

@@Seriouslioness not hybridized meaning it’s genetically more similar to an original American chestnut tree compared to a Chinese chestnut mated with an American chestnut.

@kathleenmorrill361 2 жыл бұрын

They would be transgenic, not hybridized. Hybrids are through breeding, and hybridization causes up to 50% of a plant's genome to be from another species. Transgenics happen through gene modification, and one gene makes up a very tiny portion of the genome. That means the lineage can be close to 100% American chestnut, without Chinese chestnut ancestry, but still resistant to blight. There are Chinese x American chestnut hybrids that are blight-resistant, but they also might have other genes from the Chinese variety, including ones that affect nut flavor.

Epishred might be right as well, but also it takes years to decades to fully breed and test new tree cultivars. You need to prove beyond a doubt that your new release is what you say it does.

Morgan, Tree husbandry is very cool! Steady and rewarding to the patient person. There is nothing like tasting a fruit from a tree you have nurtured. We have lots of fruit trees on our allotment and have added about 20 ourselves. The pandemic forced me to neglect the plot, but I still have had apples and pears. I missed all the plums this year due to weather and illness. But these are the breaks. For the effort of planting you get a year on year chance of great fruit. If you have enough of them there will always be something. Making flour from the chestnuts would be cool. A simple Italian mill would do the job... then pasta! Take care. Cows look relaxed. Regards Stephen.

So what if he makes money off his vlogs vids. Its his own way of supplimenting his income while educating people and bringing them along with him on his learning to be a farmer experience.
