Tree Nuts

Caption

A new study finds that large-nut-bearing trees may have been more abundant than expected near the historical sites of Native-American villages in Chautauqua County. Picture from left to right are hickory nuts (the palest); acorns from oak; black walnuts (dark, bumpy shells); and chestnuts (large and prickly).
