The Sweet Chestnut Trees are fantastic trees each autumn blessing us with an abundance of their delicious sweet chestnuts 🌰 Traditionally roasted over open fires or boiled into soup's the sweet chestnuts have long been adored by both people & wildlife all throughout history. Historically used for both food & medicine sweet chestnuts are a nutritional powerhouse packed full of everything we need to live 💚 But here's where the sweet chestnut tree gets even more interesting, because the leaves of this tree used since the days of ancient Greeks to treat infections have now been found to contain a molecule new to science. This special molecule growing naturally within the tree's leaves has been found to have the power to neutralise even the strongest strains of the antibiotic resistant superbug known as MRSA 🌳🌰

I live in Sussex England and came across a sweet chestnut tree while walking my dog. Not knowing what it was took a photo. Thanks for the interesting information 👏
There is a beutiful legend concerning the sweet chestnut tree. When the Spanish Armada suffered big losses due to storms in 1588 on the Irish coast, many drowned Spanish sailors washed ahore. One of them had sweet chestnut in his pockets snd he was buried in a cemetery. One of the chesnuts in hid pocket germinated. The tree was called the Spanish Armada Tree. It died in 2020 almost 500 years old.
Wow! thanks for sharing that 😁
Isn’t nature fantastic 🌳
I asked Santa ( my daughters and husband all) for your book for Christmas. I do hope Santa heard! I have been a lover of the herbs and the weeds and the trees all my life but you always teach me something I don't know. You and yours Be Blessed ( : Thanks for sharing you.
😁
Even if I didn't like chestnut trees before , after this video I definitely would. Man I love your channel, you make me so excited about nature.🌳💚
Glad you liked the video Patrik ! Hope your well dude ✌️😁

How do you extract the medicinal properties of the leaves?

Majestic and beautiful is the chestnut tree, a magical gift to humanity! Thanks for the great video....I will be wanting chestnut soup now!
Same !
Such a stunning tree
Endless supply of nature's gifts.
Awesome presentation, indeed
We tried foraging sweet chestnuts last Autumn in several areas in North East Ireland but all the chestnuts were tiny or flat like you showed... I read that our climate isn't warm enough, is that the case?? BTW I just received your book today its absolutely fantastic and will be our home Ed Bible 😁😘
Not sure about the climate being the reason. Somtimes you can get an entire tree that's simply not that great 🙂
Glad you like our book! If you could leave us a review on amazon we'd be grateful 😁
@@homeiswhereourheartis yes perhaps it's just the trees we foraged from, thank you for your reply💕yes I will leave a well deserved review 💕
Pray that God will bless the tree.
There is a chestnut that is poison and doesn't have the point on the bottom of the round nutshell, and has a bumpy and not spiny? hull... I know a chestnut tree with partially a spiny hulls and faint hint of a point on nut bottom. Could it be a hybrid?? I read up on chestnuts before I ate one!
Love u guys !!
You are a wonderful presenter. Contagious.
Thank you! 😃
Love your book. Thank you 💚
💚

Thank you for telling us the history behind this beautiful tree. Fancy one being thousands of years old!? I'll have to watch again in case I've got that wrong. I've been trying to grow some from Xmas chestnuts bought at local supermarkets - come from Italy I think. Love your videos 🦋🌳
😁
Great video, loved your enthusiasm and knowledge, Thank you.

Cheers Michael 😁
Good video very interesting thanks Danny
Cheers!
Nice video and sounds very nutritious
😁
Wonderful video! Thank you 🙏 How can the leaves be used to benefit from their medicinal qualities?
I have the same question...
Me too!
Me too. Read elsewhere that the leaves are good for respiratory and 100 day cough or whooping cough that's going around. Bought BACH brand tincture.
Thank you for your wonderful videos! I am blessed; I have a pair of huge sweet chestnut trees growing at the back of my property in Western Washington state, USA. As far as I know, they were planted here in the 1960s. Each spring, my trees literally hum from all the bees that come to pollinate the flowers. In fall, people and racoons come to get chestnuts every year. The pokey outer seed coverings are a pain (literally), but the chestnuts are worth it. Until today, I didn't know the trees also have medicinal value.

Great trees to have !

The video's title 😁
✌️🇨🇦 Love your videos & your book❣️
There are plenty chestnut trees at Ruslip woods,I collected 1kg yesterday.
Awesome 😁
Fantastic video as ever . I'll be collecting some this year...in gloves lol
What do you do with them? How to process them?
Have bag full that are small.
Great, thanks for the info 😉
😁
Is there a way to use the leaves medicinally? I know you said there's a lot of benefits in the leaves but how would one use them?
Came here to ask about the leaves for respiratory issues and goe to make a tincture using these.
I'm so delighted to find out there's a group in my hometown involved in this restoration. I googled my state and county! Try it. I live 30 mnts away but it can start here too.
😁
Gosh can totally see you hosting a childrens TV or podcast show 😁. Not that we want to loose you to that
Thought about doing a podcast on the future 😁
Hi Dane. Being in Central Ohio USA I have a smattering of Horse Chestnut (Buckeye) trees around me, but so far haven't found any Sweet Chestnuts nearby. I keep looking.
Fingers crossed 🤞😁
Very nice music
дякую!
Hello , love your videos , and love chestnuts , I get them from the shop and I love them raw , this year we got our own in the woods , my question is do they need to be cooked before I eat them as it says they have acid in ?
They are best cooked
Hi. Do chestnut tree need another chestnut tree of different variety to pollinate and produce fruit/nuts?
Or 1 tree is enought as they are self pollinating?

What's the difference between a sweet chestnut and a conker?
