Smelly chestnut tree December 08, 2004 10:36AM |
We've inherited a chestnut tree which I thought was the Spanish chestnut. However, when it's flower catkins arrive, the tree starts smelling like rank swamp water, and I'm beginning to think it may be the Chinese chestnut. Before I search my botanical books etc, I thought there might be someone out there who can tell me in an instant whether I have the Spanish one or the Chinese one. - i.e., does the Spanish one smell at all?
