  1. I din't know that at all, a very interesting story, Joost. Maybe that is why Aspen shows up in hollywood movies so often too? Beautiful photo. Posted 13 years ago
  2. Indeed an excellent description. I see these everywhere but I never knew what they are exactly. Posted 13 years ago
  3. Sorry, I did a wrong identification, this are seeds from the hazel (Corylus avellana).

''Corylus avellana'', the Common Hazel, is a species of hazel native to Europe and western Asia, from the British Isles south to Iberia, Greece, Turkey and Cyprus, north to central Scandinavia, and east to the central Ural Mountains, the Caucasus, and northwestern Iran. It is an important component of the hedgerows that were the traditional field boundaries in lowland England. The wood was traditionally grown as coppice, the poles cut being used for wattle-and-daub building and agricultural fencing.
