I don't know if I'd want to plant one of those near a house. We have a different variety of chestnuts planted in an urban neighborhood nearby. Those little spikes are not pleasant to touch. Even after the nuts are removed, the broken-off spikes remain. Can't walk barefoot in your yard if they're around.

Plus they are heavy enough that when they fall, they can dent a car. I imagine that they could eventually beat the hell out of a roof, or take out a window if they bounced into one.
