this note to mention that our mountain area used to have sweet chest nut as a basic food,
before maize and potato ... this book and other research like this could be a most interest topic
http://archive.org/details/TreeCrops-J.RussellSmith
being in Portugal in the next months i hope to be able to collect info about
our lost treecrop culture, by travelling to other villages in the mountains ...
also i'm very much interested in getting in touch with people that work
in other mediterranean mountain regions of the globe.
below a picture of a large and old chestnut tree (used to be pollared) that has survived a big mountain fire in 1988.
the trunk in the centre is burnt, the suckers around will be coppice.
unfortunately this tree was burnt again in 2005 fire, it has new suckers again ...
