Green with a faint touch of red. The seeds were fertile and would actually produce bearing trees.

The land had the remains of two old cabins made from American Chestnut on it, so I know the area was settles long ago. There was also a pipe run from a spring that was used in former times to cool the worm of a still (you could still see the furnace, etc. used for the still).

The land was 100 acres of high meadowland in Virginia that backed up to Shenandoh National Park. It has since been sold (to pay medical bills) and I strongly suspect that the trees are long gone.
