Aims & Scope

Castanea is named in honor of the American Chestnut tree. Castanea is thebotanical name for Chestnuts, dating back to what the ancient Greeks calledthem. The American Chestnut is a critically endangered tree that once made up 35%of the forests of the Eastern US before being devastated by a blight thatdestroyed up to 4 billion American Chestnut trees. Castanea serves professional and amateur botanists by reviewing andpublishing scientific papers related to botany in the Eastern United States. We accept papers relating to plant biology, biochemistry, ecology, floristics,physiology and systematics.
