European Horsechestnut
Latin Name:
Aesculus hippocastanum
location:
Greece and Albania
The European Horsechestnut, which has for Latin name Aesculus hippocastanum, is normally found around Greece and Albania. It usually looks like a large, deciduous flowering tree, making it a very interesting plant! In the summer, its foliage changes to a new form, more or less opposite, palmately-compound with 7 leaflets and in the automn its foliage then is poor yellow or just brown. The European Horsechestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) has flowers that are very showy, reaching a peak in mid-May and its fruits are more or less 2" to 2.5" diameter capsules with 1 or 2 seeds. An interesting characteristic it has is its bark, where we can find exfoliates in plates on older branches and the trunk to reveal showy orange bark underneath on it. A fact to point at about the way it is cultured would be that full sun is best However, a bad thing with the European Horsechestnut can be that there is a tendency to overuse this species We can easily recognize a Aesculus hippocastanum with its large, resinous buds, reddish brown. The European Horsechestnut's reproduction is very special since it performs it by seed
