American chestnut trees, once wide-spread and widely used for food and timber, are all but gone due to a devastating fungus brought to this country in the late 1800s on mail-ordered Japanese chestnut trees. But scientists believe in another year or two they may begin reversing that trend, when they complete the final hybrid crosses of disease-resistant chestnuts. Agricultural scientist Sandra Anagnostakis (Ahnahg-nose-tahKEES) is with the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station where the chestnut breeding program has been underway since 1930.
