Reply to comment by GArockcrawler in Biotech chestnut tree poised to restore lost ecosystems and biodiversity — But it needs your help by Spiffydude98

American chestnuts are pretty quick growing trees. A fellow tree nerd has been growing them in Indiana and Michigan, where blight isn't as prevalent. He planted his first trees about 20 years ago and they're already 60ft tall and a foot in diameter.

This is great news! They sound like poplars, then. I live in the north Georgia mountains on 15 acres, 13 of them heavily wooded. This is likely my forever home. I'd love to add some to the forest here. It would be exciting to see them grow!
