State's largest historic Chestnut tree stands on an Adair County farm

The historic Kentucky Chestnut tree recently featured in state and local media is located on the fence line between farms owned by Charles England and Tommy Dowell in Adair County. England received honors from the Kentucky Division of Forestry and the Kentucky Chapter of the American Chestnut Association because he provides a drivable route directly to the tree making for easy pollination activity.

Local forest rangers have visited England's farm each spring for the past four years topollinate the tree -- they will be here again next week to attach bags around the pollinatedflowers. Then in the fall they will come back to collect chestnuts from it. What they collect from this Adair County tree will then go to the University of Kentucky for planting.
