Horse Chestnut (Aesculus Hippocastanum) Pack of 15 Cell Grown 2040cm
Our RHS Aesculus hippocastanum is a large deciduous tree, commonly known as Horsechestnut or Conker tree. The flowers are usually white with a small red spot; they are produced in spring in erect panicles 1030 cm tall with about 2050 flowers on each panicle. Usually only 15 fruit develop on each panicle; the fruit is a green, softly spiky capsule containing one (rarely two or three) nutlike seeds called conkers or horsechestnuts. Each conker is 24 cm diameter, glossy nutbrown with a whitish scar at the base.
