The American Chestnut and Chinquapin Oak may be hard to tell apart due to their similar leaves (B), but the fruit (C) and flower (A) of these close relatives differ greatly.
True nature revealed
The bur (b) encases the fruit of the American Chestnut, and looks nothing like Chinquapin Oak's acorn.
Nature lover discovers rare tree in local park
Noah Musser/KANSAN
By Billie David Special to the Kansan
Nedra Rogers thought she had found Chinquapin oak leaves to add to her collection as she drove past South Park on a collecting expedition last fall.
"I was really looking for oak trees, because that's my specialty," Rogers said.
Rogers realized her mistake, however, when she found that the seed pods had sharp spines.
Crystal Miles, who works in Lawrence's parks and forestry department, confirmed that there was an American chestnut growing in South Park, but she declined to comment on its rarity.
What the leaf collector from Marysville really found was an American chestnut, a tree made almost extinct by a fungus.
Craig Freeman, assistant director of the R.L. McGregor Herbarium, part of the University of Kansas Natural History Museum, said that, although one can find small shoots of the American chestnut, large trees would be extremely rare.
Freeman said that the American chestnut was once a very dominant tree in the eastern part of the United States.
"They are not native to Kansas," he said.
Freeman said that in the early 1930s, every standing American chestnut tree was killed off by a European fungus called the chestnut blight. Freeman said young shoots still grow but most are killed by the blight before they can mature or grow seeds.
Rogers identified the tree by the number of seeds in the pods. The more common European chestnut trees have two seeds in the pod, but the American chestnut trees contain three, she said.
"Shoots from the tree are not uncommon, but fruit-bearing trees are extremely rare," she said. "Everything I have read says they are nearly extinct."
Rogers said she became interested in leaf collecting about one year ago when her daughter was working on leaf collecting as a school project. She finds oak leaves especially interesting and has found 20 different kinds in Kansas.
