Horse Chestnut vs Freedom Japanese ElmAesculus hippocastanum Ulmus davidiana var. japonica Freedom 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. Freedom Japanese Elm is great for anyone who doesn't have a lot of time to maintain their trees as it doesn't drop many seeds. It has beautiful dark green foliage and is resistant to Dutch Elm Disease. Instead of having an irregular and broad-shaped crown as other Japanese Elms do, the Freedom Japenses Elm has an open crown.
