To make sure it's truly a guyana chestnut, wait till it flowers and makes its fruits. Look for pictures of how the guyana chestnut fruits, and how the fruit looks inside, and compare both, at every stage. That's my advice

But before tasting its nut, make sure that it is truly a guyana chestnut. Because I also had a mysterious tree in the garden and the apps I used to recognize trees told me it was a guyana chestnut, and it fact it wasn't the case. There are many trees that may look quite similar.

If it's truly a guyana chestnut you have close to your house, it's also called the money tree and malabar chestnut. It produces edible nuts. I never tasted them but always wanted to have one. You should keep some fruits / seeds and replant them in a pot! It's a really precious tree

Interesting! The flowers resemble one another. The rose-apples are like a small apricot in size, yellow in color, and they taste of rose! Thank you for taking the time to comment and share this picture with me

Our rose-apple trees have started blooming! Their flowers are really spectacular. They also attract bees. They yield their fruits around July.

Nasturtiums have started flowering! They're an excellent option: they need little care, and their leaves, flowers and seeds are edible raw and cooked.

My first radishes this year. I planted them two months ago, in the abandoned family land I'm now tending to. Radish leaves are edible, raw and cooked.

Arbaro de Espero asks for a worldwide peace and a global disarmament now!

The only way to build a sustainable progress is to allow peace to reign all over Earth.

In the sunniest, warmest spots the fava bean pods have started to develop! The seeds, but also the pods are edible. The pods, while green, can be cooked as a vegetable.

From the abandoned family land I started taking care of 2 months ago.
I built hΓΌgelkultur mounds, and dug holes, that became immediately useful, to collect rainwater.

The macadamia trees have started flowering...
Notice the bee on the flower!
Have you ever tasted fresh macadamia nuts?
