Nice... just so you know the University of Maine has been working on blight resistant American chestnuts, there are some fully grown trees in western Maine that seem to have a natural resistance to the blight. They may make a comeback .... in a few decades
We have 2 American chestnut trees on our place. This property has been in my family for more than a century. As you know most of them were wiped out in a blight, My family was big on their nut and fruit trees as all farmers were then. We have 1/2 dozen century old pecan trees, 4 walnut trees, the two chestnut. Our pear tree died about a decade ago along with our old crabapple.
Different types can be stronger then others I assume the post oak I had was very pungent.
How different is the red oak? Never have tried that.
