The Aesculus hippocastanum is a tree in the family of Sapindacee and is native of Eastern Europe. The tree can grow up to 25 meters tall, it has a dense foliage crown with bright green leaves on top and light green leaves at the bottom. The fruits, known as horse chestnuts are covered with sharp spines and enclose 1 to 4 nuts rich in Aescin.
