SUMMARY:Chestnut breeding\, oxalic testing demonstration\, August 9
DESCRIPTION:Clint Morse will discuss exciting developments of American Chestnut breeding and demonstrate a new testing method.  Saturday August 9 at the  Grayson County Fair at 9:30\, 10:30 and 11:30. He will be available to talk about the Chestnut program from 9-noon.  The Fair is held at Bottomley Evergreens & Farms\, 10278 Elk Creek Parkway\, Elk Creek\, VA 24348. \n. The test needs to run for 23 hours.  Part 2 will be Sunday the 10 at 9:30 am \nDid you enjoy part 1 and want to learn more about the project? Join us at Clint’s house\, please call( 276-768-0597) or email  DIRECTOR@GRAYSONLANDCARE.ORG  for directions\, to learn to read the oxalic test.  After the test results\, we will visit  the new site at Clint’s for a tour of  the first of its kind pure American chestnut test orchard. He was recently selected to home 400 seedlings from trees that the American Chestnut Foundation(TACF) knows have some level of resistance from around the country. It is really cool! Seven years from now when TACF does the blight test in the orchard\, we will know just how much resistance Americans actually have and the myth that there is no resistance in Americans will be put to bed   This is part of a new breeding effort in cooperation with Matthews Forest and the American Chestnut Foundation.
