Although young trees may succumb to the disease within a year, mature trees may take years to succumb to the fungus. The figure on the right makes vivid the devastating effect the canker has on the American chestnut; it shows the canker of Chestnut blight that has encircled and killed an American chestnut tree. Original Distribution: The first study that looked into the source of the blight fungus disease was commissioned in 1913 by the USDA. Frank Meyer, who led the study for the USDA, reported in that year that the disease was found on chestnut trees in mountainous uplands of China.
