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.

Black Cottonwood needs ample moisture and nutrients to grow successfully and are typically found west of the Rocky Mountains. HORSE CHESTNUT QUICK FACTSBLACK COTTONWOOD QUICK FACTS
