There are about five species of
chestnut native to North America. It was, at one time, a prominent hardwood tree in the
eastern United States. However, in the late 19th century, a fungus known as chestnut
blight, introduced accidentally from Asia, destroyed most of the native stands. The wood
of the chestnut had many commercial uses ranging from furniture to railway ties.
