Horse Chestnut is a medium sized deciduous tree that is native to Greece but has been grown in North America for hundreds of years. It produces large nuts.
The Black Walnut is a slow growing, large, straight-stemmed tree with an open crown. It produces dense, very hard, edible nuts. Note: Although self-pollinating, planting two trees significantly improves nut production. HORSE CHESTNUT QUICK FACTSBLACK WALNUT QUICK FACTS
