Title: Tree Fruit Identification ?
Post by: Riffster on November 12, 2007, 11:29:17

Guys,

A week ago I found this in the garden, and placed it on a plate and forgot it.

It was lush green, spiky, and reminded me of a small horse chestnut.  A week later,  its brown, exploded, and small seeds are spewing forth from it.

Its probably very common,  over to you.

Regards   Riffster...

No Star - no such luck.  I found it on my path, and was curious.
