Hi Martina,

That is a walnut. Not sure if it is a black walnut. The buried nuts and
empty shells can be a walking and mowing hazard in your yard if the tree is
near and if you have squirrels.

Subject: [Organic_Gardening] Chestnut?

I found this tree growing out by a creek. Can anyone identify this tree and
fruit/nut? My best guess is some type of chestnut. If it is indeed a
chestnut, what variety and is it edible? All the photos of chestnuts I see
are very spiky and hairy, but this one is rather smooth and very hard. The
tree is located in West Georgia. Thanks.
