Default Conker Trees

Some ideas please - ten years ago I planted some Conkers
and one of them has grown quite well

The tree is about twelve to fifteen feet high and looks
amazingly healthy and lush

The question is when can I expect to see some blossom

TIA ..............................Leslie

Do you have room for them? My daughter and son in law have some in their
garden and they take quite a spread AND are messy. Two of theirs are in a
bad way and are waiting to be felled. The mess they drop is ugly on the
lawns. Of course the local kids love the Conkers. It's a walled garden so
the kids can't come in, but my daughter collects up bucketfuls and leaves
them outside the main gates ;-))

About now. I have a couple of conker trees which I grew from seed. The
older one is around ten years old, perhaps a little more, and has
flowered for the last two years. Not copiously, but it still looks quite
a young tree.
