Why are there so few chestnut trees?

bobbytwo · 2008-09-29 19:45:50

I am looking for conkers! I want to show my kids how to plant chestnuts and maybe grow a tree or two! I cant find any big trees anywhere. I live in Cork and wonder were trees wiped out by a disease (like dutch elm disease) or are they just not as common as all the other varieties. Thanks
