    It's a horse chestnut by the look of it and it'll get a hell of a lot bigger so if it's anywhere near the house, it needs to be moved or chopped down :)

    Really!!! They grow kind of big don't they!

    It's about 95ft away from the house, so I'm presuming that it will be ok left alone?

    Pesky squirrels eh!!! Haha

    Thank you for the lightening fast replies :-)

      They grow about 30-40 feet so 95 foot from the house will be fine.
