Weve had a chestnut tree in my mom's yard for decades and had no idea what it was until maybe 3 years ago.

All we knew was the shyt was DANGEROUS.

Imagine this big ass tree throwing hundreds of these steel surgical needle coated golf balls at you.

the spines are so tough and sharp that they stick in your car tires when you roll over them. They stick in your shoes when you walk on them. If one gets under your skin, it's damn near impossible to get out.

I have no idea how they taste. Even after finding out what they were, we'd just rake them into a big pile and burn them. Nobody was trying to eat them shyts.

Apparently, chestnuts have disappeared from America

In 1904, a devastating fungus was discovered on chestnut trees in New York's Bronx Zoo. Within a few decades, the chestnut blight had killed over 4 billion chestnut trees on more than 200 million acres in eastern North America

this, i didn't know.

the one in my mom's yard is a chestnut tree, but the "balls" never open up. they just fall, turn brown (and more dangerous) and litter the landscape.
