Chestnuts in our yard


I live in a big city, but in a small house, with a garden in the yard. True, in our garden there is only one apple tree, two cherry trees, three of them have recently appeared plums, and the nut tree is still gaining strength. But directly in front of the windows rise two huge chestnuts. Parents say that they are 90 years old. Once, before the war, there were three of them. But in one, the middle of the series, a shell fragment hit, but he resisted, did not fall, though he broke. His grandfather and grandmother was long called the invalid of the Patriotic War. He even tried to blossom, but still began to dry out. And it had to be cut down. And two continue to live and in the spring their magnificent blossoming white candles adorn our yard and even the street – there are no more such people on the street. When I invite someone for the first time to visit and explain how to find me, I will say:

The fruits of these trees are hedgehogs, inside which shiny brown balls hide. And these balls are very useful as a medicine. Neighbors collect them and prepare themselves healing tinctures from joint pain. And children are happy to use for different crafts.
