A big subject to be sure.From woodland management to fine woodworking. The tree is a great provider.I am told that posts can last twenty years in the ground It has a timber that exhibits a similar figuring to oak, shimmering medular rays being a prominent feature. The wood is not favoured for an open fire as it has a tendency to spit.What to do with an abundance of sweet marrons, I have yet to learn. The nut was ground down for flour in ancient times , a main staple food before the introduction of wheat.We will be experimenting with marron jam and marrons glacé. In the meantime dryroasting over oak embers is still a popular seasonal favourite. . Bon appetit.
