Chestnuts

[RobRainford]

Weve got a few chestnuts around here starting to turn, one near the house is half yellow and some are just showing fringes of yellow now, however, one right outside my window which is a fairly exposed place, all the wind gets it through the yard, is showing only brown patches on the leaves which i assume are wind scorch? no yellowing leaves yet on that! couple of conkers though!

 

is this normal or is a sign of something nasty?

Rob,

Castanea or Aesculus ? And where are the conkers located ? Any pictures ?
