Years ago I lived at a house that had a tree that we called a gumball tree. I have no idea what the real name was, but it shed seed pods that were about 1.5 inches in diameter with sharp points all over them. You couldn't mow and you couldn't rake with those things all over the yard. Anyone know the tree I'm talking about? It was a big tree, so if you planted one you could ruin half of the neighbor's yard at the cost of also ruining half of your own yard.

I'm guessing it was a buckeye/horsechest nut tree. Neighbor had one when I lived on the east coast.
