Horse Chestnut , also known as Conker tree, Buckeye, European horse chestnut
Horse Chestnut generally requires low maintenance, making them suitable for gardeners with varying levels of experience. Key care needs include ensuring they are planted in well-draining soil and in a location with full sun to partial shade. Special care points involve providing adequate water during dry spells and monitoring for common pests like the leaf miner. Pruning is essential to remove any dead or damaged wood, and to maintain their shape and health.
