chesnut, but forms a broad bushy head with 
a short trunk. It flowers later than the common 
kind but the leaves expand almost as early here at 
Barton, it ripens seeds pretty plentifully, and

from seed of the tree in the arboretum.

particularly well this autumn. The capsules are

beautiful than those of the common Horse-chesnut
