Evaluation of the 24-year-old Table Rock (S. Carolina) Chestnut Plot for Growth and Disease Resistance and a Proposed Breeding Program for its use


Beginning in 1947, a series of plots was established under the leadership of Dr. Jesse D. Diller of the Division of Plant Pathology, U. S. Dept.Agriculture. During the period, 1947-1955, 15 plots were established in 13 states throughout most of the range of the American chestnut. Southern states included in the test plantings were Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee andSouth Carolina. The plots consisted of chestnut hybrids of various pedigrees and some of the Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima B1.). A recent evalua-tion of the 15 plots was made by Diller and Clapper (1969).
