It is native to my country and has a very long planting history.

At least 2,500 years ago, people were growing chestnuts.

In addition to artificially planted ones, of course there are also many wild chestnut trees.

There is one in Changxi County.

Therefore, Li You is not surprised that there are two wild chestnut trees behind Lin Xiao's house.

The chestnut tree is a kind of tree that is very tall, ranging from several meters high to over twenty meters high.

When people harvest chestnuts, they often stand on the ground, knock the chestnuts down with a long bamboo pole, and then pick them up on the ground.

That's why Lin Xiao said before that these chestnuts were harvested two days ago.

Of course, you can also wait until the chestnut shell wrapped in it automatically cracks and let the chestnut inside fall out on its own.

When chestnuts grow on trees, they are wrapped in a green, spiny shell.

The diameter of the shell thorns is generally about 5 centimeters, and they are covered with soft hairs and sharp thorns, which are very prickly.

There are usually two or three chestnuts in each shell. When fully mature, the shell will split into four petals, and the chestnuts inside will automatically fall to the ground.

If the shell buckets are removed manually, the shell buckets need to be manually peeled off one by one to get the chestnuts inside.

When peeling shells, you need to wear thick plastic gloves and use tools.

Otherwise, it will prick your hands.
