As usual the problem is : a) money and b) time. It takes a little
while to grow a tree. Not like wheat or soybeans at all. Chestnut was
used for just about everything from fence posts to coffins to beams
under houses to ----.

The good news is, disease resistant American Elms are already in production,
see http://www.elmpost.org/.
The reintroduction of the American Chestnut is scheduled for 2007. The
American Chestnut at one time was an incredibly prolific climax forest
tree-- is is estimated that in our deciduous forests one tree in every four
was an American Chestnut! For more info on the blight resistant chestnut,
see http://www.elmpost.org/chestnut.htm
Of course it will be many years before either of those trees would be
commercially available as timber.
