European Horse Chestnut Trees
| About
European Horse Chestnut Trees: This tree is widely planted
in parks, avenues and large gardens in Europe. It can reach 100 ft,
though is usually half that and bears striking ‘candles’
of bloom in spring and early summer; individual flowers have crumpled
white petals with a yellow basal patch which ages to dull red. |

Fruits have a leathery case covered with short prickles and in autumn release large seeds, known as ‘conkers’ to British children. The dark green foliage turns yellow-brown in fall. For
