#2The current seeds given to the public the ACF were counting on have very poor survival/growth metrics and they're giving up on that line; big shame as those are the seeds they offered to donors (and thus a way of getting involved as as outsider).

#4American chestnut was the redwood of the east. Its damn shame it is not thriving

From the point of view of a book reader, that is a really bad book. Entire paragraphs simply restating the content of previous paragraphs with some minor additions of content.

The clue should be "Book By AI" (ie random stochastic parrots) in the URL

I knew that is what it was, I just didn't realize it would be so bad.

I bought some of those seeds and I just thought I had a black thumb. I planted my surviving seedlings this fall, a month before frost, and I hope they will survive winter..

#9There is a pretty fascinating correlation here between growth rate and susceptibility to mortality from the fungal infection. Remove the toxicity of oxalic acid and suddenly growth rate reduces. Obviously there’s a ton of variables but, oversimplifying, it almost seems like a deal with the devil: increase growth rates but at the cost of increased mortality to the blight.
