The American Chestnut fairs much better than others in America this study doesn't even look into them.

While climate change will push their range north that means they will be able to be grown in Canada along with much of their historical range.

Also they have larger nuts and bigger crops than the Chinese Chestnut. So it's quite exciting for the future.
