[nafex] Blight resistant American Chestnuts

They are apparently transgenic with a wheat oxalate oxidase gene which
renders the trees resistant to fungal-associated pathology. They make
the point that these new trees have more American Chestnut genetic
material than the complex hybrids such as Dunstan.

It will be interesting to see how the trials go...
