Valley Forge Elm looks great
My dad had a Valley Forge elm planted in front of his house
last fall and it is looking great. It replaces an elm lost decades ago to the Dutch elm disease. The new tree is about 12 feet tall and has completely leafed out this spring. |

And, in 2007, a blight-resistant American Chestnut will be ready as well. -- David J. Bockman, Fairfax, VA (USDA Hardiness Zone 7) email: http://beyondgardening.com/Albums |

I remember being down in the Smoky Mountains many years ago and seeing the skeletons of all those dead Chestnut trees. It was such a sad sight. |
