typo Duh typo :o
I really need to check and recheck my posts
I meant to say

.............Is this the one that died off years ago............


In Ky.years ago these farmers had showed me some (I thought) English Oak
Beams in the barn ,they went on to tell me of a Blight/Disease had killed off the entire species years back
Now I may be off on the name,However I'm sure they said the trees when all destroyed and that there was some type (?Hybrid?) or something that the researchers had come up with and where going to go public as soon as they could.
I think it was in big demand for the High Quality of wood for gunstocks and furniture
I'm hope that you "being the Dealer" can educate me and my old forgetting mind
I would like to know if they would grow here in Central Florida

Could you be thinking of the American Chestnut trees? For many years most barns and homes east of the Mississippi were made from American Chestnut. They were killed off by the Chestnut blight fungus in the early 1900's.

Only a few trees survived in California and the North West.

Their still trying to replant them with blight resistant Chestnuts.

Tom,
I think maybe you were refering to English Brown Oak.
That is cut from suckers growing from stumps in hedgerows. They are nearly black from the amount of (tanic?) acid.
These stumps are hundreds of years old, and to to actualy cut off the stump would be like "killing the goose that layed the golden egg".

I believe your the winner
I was thinking Oak but it was a Chestnut
The Ky guys said they where going to be planted by the state
but I also haven't talked to them in a few years so no Idea if that was talk or fact
