    Could be a horse chestnut. Cut it open and see.

    Ah no, I’d recognise horse chestnut, aren’t they spiky? 

    Walnut ahhhh there is a walnut tree next door. It couldn’t have got where it is and buried by itself though.

    Agree Walnut...Juglans regia.
    Do open it up.

    Must have had help from local wildlife..maybe grey squirrels???

    Ah OK. Looks just like that, but I will open it. It’s a rather beautiful tree they have next door. 

    I’ve never seen a squirrel here. There could be some, just that I haven’t seen any. They do trap and kill them.

    Why do our walnuts not develop. We get what looks like a walnut but when collected they are empty. This is still while they are on the tree.
