    I grew this horse chestnut from a conker given to me by a friend about 7-8 years ago, it's become clear due to its more robust darker leaves and the rust coloured coating on the new growth that it doesn't appear to be the common Horse Chestnut seen everywhere. Either way, now standing at around 15ft tall it has its first flower buds!! :hapfeet::yay: :yes: :)
