Pecans, hands down are my favorite and I came to them late..Pecans in snowball cookies, Pecan Sandies...and now that killer Pecan with maple filling donut.

I understand a blight on Chestnut trees about 50 years ago nearly wiped out like 90% of them. I've never had them. And after reading about them just now they cannot be eaten raw, but must be put me in the oven and are somewhat sweet and softer than other nuts

Most of the Chestnut trees left around these days are Chinese Chestnuts, which are considered an invasive species some places but are also considered to have a more tasty nut by some people. The American Chestnut succumbed to Chestnut Blight a hundred years ago, and yeah it wiped out the vast majority of the trees which were endemic to the Appalachians and some of the north and southeast. There are still some groves left and there are ongoing attempts to breed and propagate blight resistant varieties.Slip Shod wrote: ↑Mon May 09, 2022 3:09 pmI understand a blight on Chestnut trees about 50 years ago nearly wiped out like 90% of them.

There's a Chinese Chestnut growing in the parking lot where I work. It is quite large, and extremely messy. I wouldn't want on in my yard.

Dunno if knowing a lot of utterly useless trivia makes me cool, but it's nice of you to lie to me about it.
