  Good point. These aren’t native; they’re in an arboretum in the Pacific Northwest, far from the historic range.

    Many of our old barns are made of chestnut beams, a very fine wood. They are working on crossing species to create a resistant strain. But the woods are all but empty of this majestic tree.
