Philippine Chestnut (Castanopsis sp.)

On the ground is the Philippine Chestnut locally known as Talakatak/Katii (Castanopsis sp.). This is a replacement to my specimen from Northern Mindanao that didn't survived last years drought. It is also a different species and its nut is edible. 😍🌱🌳



The nuts are boiled for eating.
