Maybe they have got the same problem in other places without knowing what it is! <br /><br />I admire the Native Americans so much. As you say they really took care of the land and only took what they needed. Something indicates that this also happened among other ancient and earlier people.<br />We do not behave well today.<br />Grethe.Thyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06784021614587470421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679050.post-33250107770936011682010-10-31T13:28:53.228-07:002010-10-31T13:28:53.228-07:00Chestnut trees are indeed beautiful.

I do hope they can figure out a solution.<br /><br />I've always been proud of American Indians. They were treated so poorly and yet they were such good stewards of the earth...took just what they needed and no more.Cheryl Kohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04021319020150945676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679050.post-2433825109384621032010-10-27T06:59:14.359-07:002010-10-27T06:59:14.359-07:00Dont you think it is a beautiful tree.

I often take a chestnut in my pocket, when I pass a chestnut tree at this time of the year. It is said to be good for gouts! Although I don't have gouts, but you'll never know! <br /> <br />I'm so impressed by the Native Americans. We can learn much from them about nature and taking care of nature. And much of what we learn in these years come to us via google. We are navigators under the google stars, Teresa! Go sit under your chestnut tree....!`)<br />GretheThyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06784021614587470421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679050.post-46516144769315432912010-10-27T06:39:20.363-07:002010-10-27T06:39:20.363-07:00Yet again, you've enlightened me about that my...Yet again, you've enlightened me about that mystery tree growing in my own yard - the horse chestnut, or buckeye. I had no idea that the NA people used them in such a fashion. The world, and all it offers us naturally, continues to amaze me.Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679050.post-1406883905282349112010-10-27T06:35:25.600-07:002010-10-27T06:35:25.600-07:00Thanks Wanda for the useful information.

I googled and saw that polk is what we call kermesbær, not native to DK, but a popular garden plant. Horse chestnut is called buckeyes in North America. And you've got those three plants where you live. <br /><br />The Native Americans were wise people , they knew about nature. <br /><br />Grethe `)Thyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06784021614587470421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18679050.post-77906194327856362392010-10-27T04:10:15.647-07:002010-10-27T04:10:15.647-07:00Really enjoyed and learned something from your inf...Really enjoyed and learned something from your informative post and link, Grethe.
