Chestnut
📍 658 Jefferson Ave, New London, CT 06320, USA
🗓 Season: September · October
🔍 When is it ripe?
Spiny green burs split open to reveal 2–3 shiny brown chestnuts. Gather from the ground after they fall. Must be cooked (roasted, boiled, or ground into flour) — toxic raw in large quantities. Peel the papery inner skin after cooking.
It was around here, you could see the gate to St. Mary's cemetery from it and there were two rather small and scraggly chestnut trees growing alongside the fence in the cemetery. Lovely cemetery with some beautiful old headstones if you're into history like that. Saw some from the 1700s! There are some much larger healthier chestnut trees on the other side of the cemetery closer to broad street but in a little bit, they're not up against the fence. They are VERY large with thick gnarly looking trunks you can't miss them.
