In 2008, SurfaTech Corporation undertook a program to attempt to grow chestnut trees within the original area in which they once dominated. Two trees were purchased, planted, and nuts harvested in Dacula Georgia. Over the years, the growing process was studied, perfected, and the yield went from 10 trees in the first year to 80+ in 2020. Several locations across the East Coast were selected for this planting process including: Georgia (Dacula, Eatonton, Sandy Springs, Monroe), Tennessee (South Pittsburg) and New York (Albany).  As a result, we expect the trees to continue to produce fertile nuts at this level for many years to come. To date we have planted over 200 trees.  We are gearing up for another couple plants this Fall.
