Showing the nutlets inside the split outer casing. You are more likely to get mature edible nuts in southern counties but maybe with climate change we will soon be eating them.
It was always thought the Romans introduced this tree to England but recent research suggests it was much later, in about the 13th century.
Can you see the face on the left casing, gazing intently at the nuts?
Yes! It took me a while to see it.
