Chinese Chestnut

From LoveToKnow Garden

Chinese Chestnut (Xanthoceras) - X. sorbifolia is a beautiful dwarf hardy tree, but not a rapid grower; its leaves are elegant, and its flowers white marked with red, borne in erect clusters. After having been for many years a rare plant in English gardens it is becoming more widely known and cultivated, and among the gardens where it succeeds well is that at Offington, Worthing, where it has ripened its fruits, which recall in form and size the fruits of the Horse Chestnut. The seedlings raised from English ripened fruits may give us fine varieties, as seedlings vary greatly in size and color of flower. China.
