Has anyone bought a chestnut tree through The American Chestnut Foundation (TACF)?
I know that you can become a member & purchase seeds. How long did it take for your trees to produce nuts? Have they really been blight resistant so far? Is there anything special you need to do to grow/care for an American chestnut tree?

Chesnut trees made up 25% of the forests in the Eastern US before chestnut blight killed almost all of them. They rained hundreds of thousands of pounds of food down every year. How big of an impact did this bounty have on the diets of Native Americans and colonials?
