per

Aesculus hippocastanum is a large tree, growing to about 39 metres (128 ft) tall. The flowers are large and very attractive, and are a creamy-white with pink accents! It produces nut-like seeds called conkers or horse-chestnuts. Each conker is 2-4 cm (3/4-1+1/2 in) in diameter, glossy nut-brown with a whitish scar at the base.

It is widely cultivated in streets and parks throughout the temperate world, and has been particularly successful in places like Ireland, Great Britain and New Zealand, where they are commonly found in parks, streets and avenues. Cultivation for its spectacular spring flowers is successful in a wide range of temperate climatic conditions provided summers are not too hot, with trees being grown as far north as Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the Faroe Islands, Reykjav??k, Iceland and Harstad, Norway.

The horse-chestnut is also a favourite subject for bonsai.
