     A friend of mine gave me an #AmericanChestnut sapling. These trees are nearly extinct because of a fungus that nearly wiped them out. Usually they get sick and die after a few decades. I hope we can keep this one alive, and keep hope alive, so that this beautiful species can come back once again.

     edit: gah, if course, it's a chestnut!
