American Chestnut is a rare species since the blight hit in the early 20th century.
This picture was taken during the strong winds generated by Tropical Storm Ike- 1000 miles from the Gulf!
No damage to my trees, but there were a lot of trees down in Indiana. Some people are stow without power after 5 days.

This is the first year my trees have borne fruit. There they are- by the hundreds.
A recent windstorm, spawned by hurricane Ike, knocked down a rather large number of trees in our area. The weight of the nuts made me think my American Chestnuts would have a hard go of it in the windstorm. Though they were severely stressed, they came through unscathed.
