"We planted our first back-cross orchards in April 2006 in the towns of Woodbridge and Salem," notes Bill Adamsen, member of TACF's Connecticut chapter. "The majority of trees in those orchards are about 92% American and balance Chinese, with the latter representing the opportunity to provide resistance to the chestnut blight."
