I hang coffee mugs over mine; they don't have a chance to get greasy or dirty.
I think it was originally designed to be edible. Ketchup was too. My niece thinks it's a vegetable.
Not the same tree. It might be a beech. Or something. It drops nuts, and I don't get any. The leaves are turning bright yellow as we speak, so...
