I have three seedlings if you'd like one.


If my memories of London are correct, you can see this in Hyde Park.


You can certainly see it at Kew gardens, which are where, er, my
three conkers came from. They all sprouted in march and are now 50cm
high thugs. My own site is probably a bit small for such a species
but I thought of growing one and coppicing it. You can do that for
sweet chestnut can't you.
