If the one on the far left is a chestnut tree, the foliage is presented as a seven leaves-group in the shape of the palm of a hand.

Sadly the book I'm using right now didn't give me that information D: Even the photos there were there had less or more leaves. But that's interesting to know!

I've observedΒ this detail by looking at a lot of chestnut trees....It's a pattern for them to have 5 or 7 leaves (in the form of a hand) in bunches on a branch....

I work without internet connection, so that's why the only references I use are from a book xD always forget to search for more before starting!Β
That's a lovely garden that you have! Mine has a lonely little lemon tree

I love it because little birds come there and they are so cute <3 With the old one (that sadly we had to cut off because it was going to fall anytime) there was a couple of parrots that occasionally used to pluck its branches

I love it when birds come to the trees....IΒ have small forest birds that started coming to my trees all the time since a while now, most commonly found here are Sparrows ...they are so cute and very intelligent, they have nests in the roof of my house.....
