It's been seven years but the day has come. We inoculated all the American Chestnut trees last summer with the blight. Today we checked the inoculation sites and the numbers weren't as good as we hoped for. Total of about eight trees showed some resistance and only 2 of which appear to have good resistance. On average it should have been about 1 in 8 with good resistance. Total number of trees we started with was 120. Non-resistant trees eliminated.
