Darling 58

Engineered American Chestnut tree

The Darling 58 is a genetically engineered American chestnut tree. The tree was created by American Chestnut Research & Restoration Program at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry in collaboration with The American Chestnut Foundation (TACF) to restore the American chestnut to the forests of North America. These Darling-58 trees are attacked by chestnut blight, but survive. Darling-58 trees survive to reach maturity, produce chestnuts, and multiply to restore the American chestnut tree to the forests of North America. An error resulted in use of an alternate cultivar, Darling 54 in some field tests of the Darling 58 cultivar of American Chestnut.
