there are some chestnut trees in Stone Mountain Park too.... :)
That is pretty cool, I used to run into a bunch of them when I was out hunting ginseng with my Dad and Brother, none of them more than a few inches in diameter though. There is still a lot of the wood from them around in fences, barns, furniture, etc.
I saw the remains of one that was probley 2' in diameter on the grounds of WCU behind Reynolds Hall. It is a shame that there are no more big ones. I hope the project in GA is succesful.

Good urn Dixie.
Yeah, from time to time someone will find a tree big enough to have nuts on it, but they don't last long. Usually in a year or two, the blight kills them. I have had the privelage of eating some of the nuts, though. They are incredable!
