Horse Chestnut vs Dappled WillowAesculus hippocastanum Salix integra Hakuro-Nishiki ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
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. Dappled Willow is a small, cold hardy shrub with unusual beauty. Its leaves are pink in spring, maturing into variegated shades of pink, white and green. After losing their leaves in autumn, the stems maintain a rich red color throughout the winter. For a splash of color, try Dappled Willow on its own or as a hedge. HORSE CHESTNUT QUICK FACTSDAPPLED WILLOW QUICK FACTS
