Chestnut
📍 Wootton Pkw & Greenplace Terr, Rockville, MD 20850, 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.
Two to three chestnut trees. One is very tall; we used to use fishing nets with long poles to get the nuts down. In early to mid autumn you can just see the nuts lying on the sidewalk next to the main road (Wootton Pkwy). Compete with the squirrels! (Not really. Leave some for them as well)
