When people find chestnut trees of any size growing in the New England woods they frequently call The Experiment Station, hoping that they have found an American chestnut tree resistant to Chestnut Blight Disease. Usually the tree is Asian, or an Asian hybrid. In previous centuries, chestnut trees were very important to the people on this continent. They took advantage of "new and different" material much more than is generally realized, and were planting Asian species long before chestnut blight was discovered in New York City in 1904. The USDA imported many seeds, and the Plant Introduction numbers can be searched for specific information about where the seed came from. I have started compiling some information about the history of chestnut importations into North America, to help people better appreciate this valuable resource. This will also be of value to people who know that "Grandpa got some chestnut trees called MAB from the government." and would like to know the origin of those trees.
1773 Castanea sativa
Thomas Jefferson brought cuttings of European chestnuts to his home, Monticello, and grafted them onto native American chestnut trees.
1799 Castanea sativa
Eleuthere Irenee DuPont de Nemours moved from France to Bergen Point, NJ, and then to Brandywine, DE. He brought many European chestnuts with him, imported more later, hybridized them and planted them all over the area.
1876 Castanea crenata
In 1876, the S. B. Parsons Co. in Flushing, NY imported Japanese chestnuts through Thomas Hogg, who spent several years in Japan collecting many kinds of rare trees and shrubs. The same year, the J. M. Thorburn Co. imported tea chests full of lily bulbs, and one contained Japanese chestnuts instead. The nuts were planted in F. W. Bruggerhof’s garden in Stamford (Noroton), Connecticut, and some trees fruited two years later. Seedlings had been given to his friends, and soon attracted attention because of the large size of the nuts. Mr. Parsons marketed these trees and their seedlings as “Japan Chestnut” until Andrew S. Fuller (in his treatise on nut culture in 1896) proposed calling it “Parson’s Japan.”
Japanese chestnuts have leaves that are smaller than the American or European. They are long and narrow, with many leaf hairs on the underside, and teeth that are small and sharply pointed. The nuts are large, but the pel is not easily removed, and tannins make them bitter until they are cooked. These trees are among the most resistant to Chestnut Blight Disease, Phytophthora root disease (Ink Disease), and the many insects that attack the nuts.
There are three of these Parsons’ Japan chestnut trees still growing in Connecticut: One is behind the Congregational Church in Cheshire, one is in front of the Bee and Thistle Inn in Old Lyme, and one is on the grounds of P. T. Barnum's house in Bridgeport. The tree in Cheshire was probably planted by Tilton Munson or his son, who were then the owners of the property. In the 1940’s, the owner was Mr. A. N. Sheriff, headmaster of the Cheshire Academy, who gave Arthur Graves permission to use the tree in crosses. We have no information on the people who planted the Bee and Thistle tree. The Old Lyme Inn, across the street from the Bee and Thistle, has Japanese chestnuts that look like the ‘Japan Giant’ sold by Ellwanger and Barry (Mt. Hope nurseries) in Rochester, NY, and these provide pollen for the Bee and Thistle tree.
1882 Castanea crenata
William Parry of Parry, NJ, imported 1,000 grafted trees, and selected 'Parry' for sale.
1886 Castanea crenata
Luther Burbank imported 10,000 nuts for selecting and hybridizing. In 1893, he sold three trees to Judge Andrew J. Coe of Meriden, CT. These were sold in 1897 to J. H. Hale of South Glastonbury who named them 'Coe', 'Hale', and 'McFarland' and sold them from his nursery.
1900 the 'Paragon' hybrid
[from Powell, 1899]
Great American (PA State Hort. Assoc. Proc. 1887)
Paragon (Popular Gardening, Dec. 1888)
"Burs immense, flattened, spines very long, branched, husk fleshy: nuts large, three or more in a bur, apex broad, depressed, 34 mm broad, 30 long, 23 thick, pubescent at tip, and slightly over two-thirds, dull dark brown, ridged, quality excellent; tree hardy, spreading, vigorous; foliage distinct, narrow, coarsely serrate, tapering gradually at the point, base narrow, subject to leaf blight; enormously productive, ripens at Parry, NJ Oct 10-15."
"Probably a seedling of a European chestnut, popularly supposed to have been planted by George Washington, standing at the first of this century on the west bank of the Schuylkill, above Philadelphia, on land owned by Richard Peters. The parent nut was obtained by the late W. L. Shaffer, Germantown, PA, and was planted there more than fifty years ago (exact date unknown), on land now occupied by the Deaf and Dumb Asylum. About 1875 the late H. M. Engle, Marietta, PA obtained grafts through Mr. Thomas Meehan, and introduced the nut in the early eighties, first as Great American, from its supposed American origin, and later as Paragon, when its European descent was fully accepted. Its early prestige was a result of its supposed American origin, it being referred to the American type in its early references. Bailey, in 1891, (Am. Garden), classed it as an American from the tapering form, and broad, deep serrations of the leaf, which are similar in the American foliage.
The form of the leaves alone support the supposed American origin of the 'Paragon' but the thickness of the foliage, which I have found a much less variable character than form, is distinctly European; the narrow base of the leaf is more European than American; and the low, spreading tree is distinctly European. It is not unlikely that the parent nut resulted from American pollen on the European pistil, for the Americans and Europeans readily cross; or, what is equally probably, the form of the foliage may be a varietal variation from the type. I am personally inclined to the latter view, as I find many gradations in form in the foliage of the European type, the same tree, as the 'Ridgely', or 'Styer' often producing leaves which vary from the abrupt to the narrow, long, tapering point.
I am indebted to Mr. Thomas Meehan for the facts concerning the parentage and early history of the 'Paragon'."
The Sober Groves
From the report of Ernest A. Sterling to the NY Legislature, 1903
"Mr. Coleman K. Sober is a wealthy lumberman of Lewisburg, PA, a man who has long been identified with the lumbering interests of central PA, an ardent sportsman, an advocate of forest and game protection, and on the whole a strong, energetic individual with an inborn ability to make a success of whatever he undertakes. The motive which impelled him to make a costly experiment in chestnut culture was found in the desire to reclaim the waste lands of the State, and in the belief that a properly conducted chestnut grove would be a paying business venture. The idea of grafting chestnut trees came to Mr. Sober when, as a boy, he helped his father graft apple trees on the old farm, which is now the improved country estate of which the chestnut groves are a part. There existed near the old farmhouse a large native chestnut tree, the decrepit remains of which can still be seen, that bore chestnuts of unusual size and excellent flavor. To graft scions from this tree upon the poorer native chestnut trees of the vicinity was a boyhood dream, which was always discouraged; so that the realization of the desire came only recently, and not until Mr. Sober had grown to mature manhood. Of course when the work of grafting chestnut trees was finally taken up on a large scale it was not the fine old native chestnut which furnished the scions, but rather the larger and more valuable imported or improved native varieties which were used. True to his old desire, however, Mr. Sober grafted a number of trees with twigs from the old native tree, but as yet they are not old enough to bear profusely.
The chestnut grove proper is a part of Mr. Sober's large model farm, and is divided into two detached parcels with a total area of nearly 300 acres, the exact acreage not being known. In location it is in Irish Valley about six miles from the small station of Paxinos on the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad and some eight miles from the mining town of Shamokin.
In the choice of species very little experimental work has been done. It was early decided that the 'Paragon' nut was the best; hence this variety alone has been grafted extensively. Investigations in other orchards, and the literature consulted, confirm this choice of variety as a wise one. Compared with the common European and Japanese chestnuts the 'Paragon' is more prolific, less troubled by curculio, comes into bearing sooner, and has a finer flavored nut. In size, too, the nuts are equal to the best. With selected nuts thirty two will weigh one pound, while many specimens will cover a silver dollar. The rapidity with which the 'Paragon' will come into bearing is also astonishing. One little two-year-old graft, no higher than a man's shoulder, last year matured fifty-six burs; while a tree three to four years old will produce a pint or two of nuts……There are approximately 240 grafted trees per acre in Mr. Sober's grove at present. The total number of trees is probably not far from 75,000."
From the Northunberland County, Pennsylvania Annals, p. 340
“Rows of young trees have been grafted to the Sober Paragon nut, and heavy shipments are made each season. At first the orders were mainly from the New England States, but now they come from all parts of this country and even from Europe. In 1908 a solid carload of the Sober Paragon nut went to Seattle, Wash. In the summer of 1910, a Seattle man who had an ambition to enter the business on a large scale offered to buy Mr. Sober’s entire yield for that year. Several carloads of young trees are sold every spring. In 1910 Mr. Sober shipped and sold to one concern, Glen Brothers of Rochester, NY, seven carloads of bearing trees, and in addition to this shipment sold to various other concerns over five thousand grafted trees (nursery stock, two and a half to three feet high). In 1911 he shipped to Glen Brothers two carloads (one shipment) of bearing trees, eight to twelve feet in height, and in addition to the same concern at various times over ten thousand trees.”
