Default Re: Its a good year for the Chestnuts

Hi Harvey, yes there is another tree nearby, maybe 10 feet away but its a much younger one. I do know however about fruit producing trees wich
are quite isolated. The chestnut of this one is quite round but I know
of other trees with bigger chestnuts wich have one flat side. Maybe
there are 2 different species growing here? Often there are 3 in a shell
out of wich 2 have enough size to eat them.
I am getting interested now myself and will do some more investigation
and will make pics from other trees.

I'll keep you informed

Ron
