The American Chestnut was a stately and important tree found in mesic (moderate moisture) and xeric (dry) forests.  However, Chestnut blight has made this species nearly extinct in its natural habitat.  Typically in the wild, it sprouts easily from old stumps and roots, may reach 20 feet tall and produce a few nuts before succumbing to the blight again. Work is being done to produce a blight-resistant variety.

Due to its susceptibility to blight, this tree is not recommended for use in the home landscape.  Other varieties that do not have these issues can be chosen for use as shade trees.

Insects, Diseases and Other Plant Problems:  Very susceptible to the blight Cryphonectria parasitica.  It is also susceptible to leaf spot and powdery mildew.
