It has been many years since I have come across a big pile of American Beechnuts. We used to find them here all the time as kids and eat them. Today I found lots beneath a branch spreading over a gravel road in a Beech-filled woodland: https://www.flickr.com/photos/150605880@N07/37748531452/in/dateposted-public/ Some of the Beech trees in this forest were also considerably larger than the scraggly ones I usually encounter. Here is the tree that produced the nuts: https://www.flickr.com/photos/150605880@N07/37731545996/in/dateposted-public/ I would guess the tree was 8" diameter where the branch is. Looks like the Beech behind and to the left of is suffering more from the canker(?) that often does them in before reaching maturity. Good to see a few healthier looking specimens. BTW it is a great time to see snakes. Just keep looking down as you walk along a dirt or gravel path on a sunny day.
