Horse Chestnut

[Busman747]

Can anyone give a home to a poor li'l Horse Chestnut tree? It was planted by my daughter in 1996 and has managed to survive all this time IN A POT!

Even now, it is only 6ft tall (Just under 2 Metres for the young'uns ) and is in need of a caring owner that has a large garden so it can spread it's roots. Any takers?

Free to that person and can deliver locally.

You've planted a Horse Chestnut in a little garden next to a fence. When not restricted in a little pot they grow more than 18" a year. They grow to 60 feet with a spread of 50ft.
Did you look into the species before planting it, some brief info in this link? https://www.treehelp.com/horsechestnut/

 

[Shurm]

Moved it a lot further in from the fence and its far enough away from our house

Excellent, I'm sure your neighbours will also be happy now too.

Well done for rehoming it.

 

[KiTChener]

well done, Shurm, I look forward to seeing it rising above your rooftop when I walk the dogs on Highams!!

Watch out though, we still have a Dendrophobist around.
