American chestnut — the tree that fed Appalachian families for free every October for centuries — was erased from the eastern forest in fifty years. This video traces what it was, what replaced it, and how to plant it back.

In this video, we trace the history of the American chestnut — the extraordinary ancient perennial that Appalachian, Italian, Corsican, and Japanese communities relied on as a primary winter calorie source. Learn why the chestnut was replaced by annual corn and soy crops following the 1904 blight arrival, and how to grow blight-resistant chestnut trees in any eastern backyard today.
