Oxfordshire Woodland Group

I have noticed in the woodland that 2021 appears to have been a mast year for sweet chestnut and so have gathered some of these edible nuts for sewing and planting and hopefully in a few years time for re introduction into the woodland mix of trees being grown to help produce good useable and highly durable timber.

I noted that although multiple nuts are present in each shell that most of these are quite thin and hence not viable leaving only one modest sized nut worth planting per shell.
