The Plant<\/h2>\n

The Chinese chestnut,<\/strong> also known as the Wilson chestnut<\/strong>, is an exceptional tree that is still particularly rare in Europe. Indeed, AESCULUS wilsonii<\/strong> starts spring off with a bang by producing impressive purple shoots<\/strong>. As they unfold, the exotic-looking leaves<\/strong> have a robust texture and then turn green while retaining red veins<\/strong>. Then, the very dense foliage of this horse chestnut tree will be entirely green during the summer without roasting as many horse chestnut trees do. Finally, in autumn, the leaves turn a beautiful orange-yellow color<\/strong> as the final fireworks. The Chinese horse chestnut forms an overall rounded and balanced silhouette<\/strong> with a dense canopy. This type species is very vigorous<\/strong> and grows quite quickly. In summary, it is a plant jewel combining beauty, vigor and elegance, which makes it particularly appreciated by collectors.
