I fight with squirrels in my garden for hazelnuts as we have a tree at the end of the garden.

Hehe - they're both green on the tree though, they only go brown when they ripen and fall off.

Well erm, the edible ones have lots more spikes

I keep digging up the nuts that the squirels bury! 1 - they're stupid squirels round here and i'll only end up digging up a tree sapling nex year. 2 - I'm evil
