Hybrid American Chestnut Tree - 2 Gallon Potted

For those who know trees, the American Chestnut was a legend. It was the most important food and timber trees in the Eastern United States. Virtually destroyed by a bark fungus from the Orient in the early 1900’s, it was one of the largest ecological disasters in American history.
