    I am not sure of what trees i have here and they are starting to fruit, does anybody recognise them please?

    And i was also wondering what the second spikey fruit is? I was thinking Lychee's maybe.

    Actually while I am at it here are a couple more I'm not sure on, one might be plum and the other looks like some kind of apple but I really do not know.

    Thanks guy's:) I feel a bit daft for asking but I am not familiar with the trees here. So pic 1&2 are Walnut and 3 Chestnut, that's pretty cool I can make good use of them. And yeah I think 4 through 6 are apple and plum I just wasn't too sure. I didn't want my son picking something i don't know what it is up and eating it.

    I think you can't eat horse chestnut, only the sweet chestnut. :scratch:

    I think you are very right Liz W, and that is definitely NOT sweet chestnut, its a conker tree.

    So be careful nibbles, conkers are only any use if threaded on an old piece of string.
