Jake,
some do, but not many and not many years. Have not been to where they were abundant for many years but see a couple blooming along mountain roads every year but as they approach 8-10" in diameter signs of blight become evident. Once you see signs of blight, the tree is stressed and fruit becomes less and less with the passing of time till the tree dies. You should see them in pa as well, they were once the main mast crop in the eastern US.
