    There is a beutiful legend concerning the sweet chestnut tree. When the Spanish Armada suffered big losses due to storms in 1588 on the Irish coast, many drowned Spanish sailors washed ahore. One of them had sweet chestnut in his pockets snd he was buried in a cemetery. One of the chesnuts in hid pocket germinated. The tree was called the Spanish Armada Tree. It died in 2020 almost 500 years old.

    I live in Sussex England and came across a sweet chestnut tree while walking my dog. Not knowing what it was took a photo. Thanks for the interesting information 👏

    I’ve become obsessed with chestnut trees and specifically the American verities. They’re just so unique and I have such a passion for these generous trees that feed humans and wildlife every year.

    We tried foraging sweet chestnuts last Autumn in several areas in North East Ireland but all the chestnuts were tiny or flat like you showed... I read that our climate isn't warm enough, is that the case?? BTW I just received your book today its absolutely fantastic and will be our home Ed Bible 😁😘

    • @homeiswhereourheartis
      @homeiswhereourheartis  2 года назад +2

      Not sure about the climate being the reason. Somtimes you can get an entire tree that's simply not that great 🙂
      Glad you like our book! If you could leave us a review on amazon we'd be grateful 😁

      There is a chestnut that is poison and doesn't have the point on the bottom of the round nutshell, and has a bumpy and not spiny? hull... I know a chestnut tree with partially a spiny hulls and faint hint of a point on nut bottom. Could it be a hybrid?? I read up on chestnuts before I ate one!

    Thank you for your wonderful videos! I am blessed; I have a pair of huge sweet chestnut trees growing at the back of my property in Western Washington state, USA. As far as I know, they were planted here in the 1960s. Each spring, my trees literally hum from all the bees that come to pollinate the flowers. In fall, people and racoons come to get chestnuts every year. The pokey outer seed coverings are a pain (literally), but the chestnuts are worth it. Until today, I didn't know the trees also have medicinal value. Thank you and Blessed Be! *NOTE to Home Is Where Our Heart Is:* Please don't use an apostrophe to make a word plural; the apostrophe is properly used to show possession (ownership) or a contraction (where you leave off a letter) as in *Pam's* cat or *don't* do that.
