What trees were killed by blight but even dead harvested for pulpwood?

American chestnut trees were severely impacted by chestnut blight, leading to their near extinction in the early 20th century. Despite being killed by the disease, these trees were often harvested for pulpwood due to their wood's desirable properties. The wood was used in various applications, including furniture and construction, before the trees were ultimately wiped out by the blight.
