Our RHS Aesculus hippocastanum is a large deciduous tree-- commonly known as Horse-chestnut or Conker tree. The flowers are usually white with a small red spot; they are produced in spring in erect panicles 10-30 cm tall with about 20-50 flowers on each panicle. Usually only 1-5 fruit develop on each panicle; the fruit is a green-- softly spiky capsule containing one (rarely two or three) nut-like seeds called conkers or horse-chestnuts. Each conker is 2-4 cm diameter-- glossy nut-brown with a whitish scar at the base.
