Conker season 2019 is GO!

The 2019 conker season is firmly underway, with trees across Peckham finally dropping. After several trips around the parks of Peckham initial observations for the season are that some of the bigger trees seem to have caught some kind of conker blight meaning that the trees are conkerless, and so far the general size of conkers is down from last year.

That said, the Horse Chestnut trees across the Rye - especially on the South East side - are starting to drop sizeable conker yields, which we’ve already started to hoover up and put into storage for safe-keeping ;-)
