 Poster 50: Eleven Years Results in a Castanea sativa and Pseudotsuga menziesii Mixed Stand in Northern Portugal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The research plots were observed and intensively measured yearly, In 1992, the Pseudotsuga menziesii trees were submitted to a penetration pruning and the Castanea sativa trees were classified, under a three item criteria, in order to select the crop trees which were pruned.
The interest and importance of the mixed compositions is discussed, and a comparison for the observed weight and revenue figures, between monocultures and mixed-species stands is developed, based on the pure and mixed-species relative proportion approach.
The Castanea sativa and Pseudotsuga menziesii show resources use complementarity, due either to significant niche separation or direct beneficial relationship among the species, once the total relative proportion is, in most cases, greater than 1.0.

 American Chestnut Story
The American chestnut tree, Castanea dentata, is a member of the family Fagaceae, closely allied to oaks and beeches.
The fact that the roots survive and are able to reproduce tissue above ground serves both to ensure that the tree will not face extinction, and that researchers are provided with a reliable supply of germplasm on which to do their research (1).
The fungus not only affects Castanea dentata, but other members of the Castanea genus as well, including the chinquapins in the eastern US, and even post oaks which are in the same family.

When growing chestnuts at home, it is important for the grower to distinguish between the "real" chestnut trees and those trees producing horsechestnuts and buckeyes.

The seeds of the latter two are potentially poisonous, thus they should not be eaten.
