Chestnut weevil thwarts this year's harvest

A Voice-Tribune reader recently asked about the worms in her chestnuts; well, I am afraid I am in the same boat. We have chestnut weevils.

In other areas we collect pecans and Chinese chestnuts among other offerings. The pecans are clean as a whistle this year but the chestnuts are a bust.
