Hi All,

My daughter bought a house last June.  We have been watching a tree produce what we, at first, thought was some kind of fruit.  Then we thought it might be an almond but the leaves didn't look right.  They have been getting bigger and bigger and now are splitting into 3 parts at the end of the fruit.  Inside is something which, to me, looks like it resembles some kind of chestnut.  However, we are in Southern California and I never even see Chestnuts except a few in the market in December. 

Would really like to know what we have.  If you can help, thank you ahead of time.
