I don’t have issues with them although I did have one that was way past ripe and it left me feeling buzzed. Baking with them can definitely give you GI issues. Where did you get yours?

The wild seedlings can be a lot seedier and have a bit of an aftertaste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I have some lespedeza in the lawn near the house and prostrate knotweed growing in the driveway and the edges. I don’t mind some weeds, but those 2 I can do without. My little meadow area by the run has milky spurge growing in there too. Anyone ever use one of those propane weed torches? I’ve been thinking about cooking the affected areas next spring. I know it will kill everything, but I assume the grass will eventually grow back.

dendrite Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 We got one. I climbed up the tree and cut the last burr off and found a fertilized chestnut. You can see the difference between the two. @wxeyeNH Any fertilized nuts up there yet? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a lot of 30-40 footers in the back woods, but old ones died in the past 10+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few pretty tall beeches out back, some are still hanging on (the small ones are toast). had a good -sized one next to the house that finally gave in this year.

I dont see alot of dead ones from beech leaf disease. Im sure its just a matter of time unfortunately. I have only been here 8 years, so maybe some larger ones succumbed befors that. The majority are in the 15-30ft range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
