American Chestnut (Castanea dentata)Observer
lucianvazquezDescription
A living, fruiting chestnut, which albeit heavily afflicted with blight, has not lost any of its major limbs yet, though some of the lower branches are dead. It was sending out a couple of stump sprouts. Apparently, the tree was released by being able to reach out and use the light provided by the adjacent shrub swamp. It is as of now approximately 20-30 feet tall. Burs, leaves, and seedlings (not sprouts) were scattered in a wide radius.

Anyone know of best way to ID T. latifolia vs T. angustifolia? Is it just measuring width of spike?

carsonwsbDescription
Inaturalist suggests Dendrolycopodium hickeyi (hickey's tree club moss), but I don't feel confident enough in that ID, even the genus, to select it. Hoping someone more experienced can weigh in.
