Chestnut
📍 2004 Chillicothe St NW, Knoxville, TN 37921, 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.
There are two moderate-sized chestnut trees on the top of the steep slope on the corner. You have to hike up into the tall grass to get there.
I'm actually not 100% sure if this land is part of the neighboring property or Buck Toms Park as it's right on the border-- but they are on the far side of the landowner's fence. It wouldn't hurt to ask the owner on the corner first.
