Horse Chestnut – Aesculus hippocastanum (Potted)

Description

Horse Chestnut, Aesculus hippocastanum, is a deciduous tree, too large for most gardens. It is planted mainly in parkland or open spaces in towns and villages. It has beautiful flowers in the springtime standing on the upturned end of otherwise drooping branches. It will grow in most types of soil. The inedible fruit, of course, is known as a conker.
