After decades of trial and
error, cultivar test orchards, and local breeding efforts,
chestnuts are about to take a big leap towards becoming more
regionally adapted and rooted in productive agroforestry systems
across their range. The
Chestnut Improvement Network is a participatory breeding program led
by
Dr. Ron Revord, tree
crop geneticist at the University of Missouri Center for
Agroforestry, with key producer partners, including Dr. Greg Miller, chestnut grower and tree geneticist at
the Route 9 Cooperative.
