Oh, Michael, so you are harking back to my original story and the attitude of the ACF toward acorns. Well, the irony was that the acorns in question were, according to the naturalist, the first ones he'd ever found that were as edible fresh as chestnuts. He thought, seeing as he was among fellow enthusiasts of at least one kind of nut, that they would be interested in an amazing find in some other species. Not so. The ACF is a group with a goal and an agenda. The are not like NAFEX, they are focused so closely on just two species: the American chestnut and the chestnut blight, that they close out all other species.... like for example phytopthera root rot and chestnut gall mites. The phytopthera may reduce the impact of the hard work they have done. But I do have to admire them for their desire to conserve the wide range of germplasm still existing. But it was far from the reaction he'd have gotten from a room full of NAFEXers.
Well, I was a little aggravated there to think you were simply dismissing acorns altogether. Donna
