Our next door neighbour has several of these trees in his yard (although they are the common type with the yellow blooms). Recently I found the case of a nut in our meadow.

I sure hope so.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221106512530304517.post-23655101587561590292011-05-10T17:05:14.530-03:002011-05-10T17:05:14.530-03:00The close-ups of that chestnut are amazing!
