After we cleaned up the slash from our spruce tree we raked up the leftover twigs, then piled on the chestnut burs that have dropped. We love our chestnuts, but these burs are a problem. The old saying is "Round as a ball and sharp as an awl." The spines have a way of getting into your fingers whenever you work anywhere near a chestnut tree, and you don't dare go barefoot in our yard.

Burn Your Burs!
