Horse Chestnut vs Mountain MapleAesculus hippocastanum Acer spicatum ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW 
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. A top CO2 absorbing species. Experts think this tree may help climate change more than others.
Used to growing in the shadows of the damp forest, White Maple (aka Mountain Maple) is a great fit for shady and wet areas, such as beneath larger trees. Unlike most of its cousins, the White Maple is a shrub instead of a tree. It's still a maple, however, with sap that can be made into Maple syrup to prove it!
