American and Chinese Chestnuts (Castanea) are indeed edible, however 'Horsechestnut' trees are the kind which are commonly found on American properties.
This type of tree, actually called Aesculus Hippocastanum, contains nuts which are quite poisonous! They have certain food and drug qualities, but only after going through extensive processing techniques.
