USDA Chestnut Tree Research Records
The USDA Chestnut Tree Research Records documents chestnut tree seed distribution and growth across the United States, England, and Canada in the early-to-mid-twentieth century. The program served to reintroduce and monitor the progress of various species of chestnut trees following the introduction of Cryphonectria parasitica, or chestnut blight, from East Asia to North America and Europe in the early 1900s.
