Horse Chestnut — Aesculus hippocastanum

This sapling is the quiet beginning of a garden icon. Though small now, it carries the promise of majestic spring "candle" blossoms and a deep, spreading canopy that will offer shade for generations.


It is a resilient, patient grower that transforms with the seasons - from the emerald leaves of summer to the nostalgic, mahogany-bright conkers of autumn.

Upon arrival, plant your saplings in a sunny or partially shaded spot.

Ensure the roots stay moist until they are in the ground.

Because these can grow into majestic, large trees, give them plenty of room to spread their canopy!
