Kendra will send the samples on to either Fred and or Sara and other sources if required to validate.

Please be sure to include several attached leaves and twig/stems to aid in validation. Attached is a short "check list" we use to help determine if the sample is indeed American chestnut, or Chinese, Japanese, European or a hybrid.
