"The mighty American chestnut tree once was an integral part of Eastern forests, but it has been virtually wiped out by a fungus. Luckily for people in the Bay Area who'd like to enjoy chestnuts, though, a few small groves of other varieties survive locally."Link.
Whether you eat them or not, they are beautiful.

ReplyDeleteClient #1 has two Chestnuts. That is how I learned those spines are absolutely viscious. I would never have wanted the job of gathering and cleaning those things. It would have been a bloody mess.
ReplyDeleteThose are way cool... they look like funky little Fraggle-nuts.
