A Lifetime of Chestnut Research with Dr. Sandra Anagnostakis
About this episode
With chestnut harvest season in full swing in North America, we have a very timely episode for y'all today. Tune in for our discussion with Dr. Sandra Anagnostakis who for many years was a lead researcher in the department of plant pathology and ecology at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station in New Haven, CT. If someone has ever passed down a bit of folksy wisdom to you about how to treat chestnut blight, odds are that wisdom originated with Dr. Sandy's research. If you are someone who is interested in starting your own orchard filled with "breadtrees of the north", this episode can't be missed. Chestnuts are where it's at people! Listen in to find out why.
