It is around 12 to 15 years old and has been producing a small number of chestnuts for several years now but I only realized what it was this fall because the squirrel was carting them off as soon as they hit the ground. I had just assumed that it was some kind of oak.
I have absolutely no idea where the seed came from as I know of no other on the farm or any where in the community.
We beat the squirrel to about a dozen nuts and I am going to bury them around the farm in spots that I will not be spraying and will see what happens.

Or you could have Chestnuts roasting on an open fire for Christmas
