Horse Chestnut vs American BladdernutAesculus hippocastanum Staphylea trifolia ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW SOLD OUT
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.
American Bladdernut is a fast-growing, ornamental shrub native to eastern North America. It can be grown as a large shrub or trained as a small tree. The small, drooping, white flowers are bell-shaped and grow in clusters. They appear in mid to late spring, attracting various pollinators. Well suited as an understory plant as it prefers shady and partial sun location with moist soils. HORSE CHESTNUT QUICK FACTSAMERICAN BLADDERNUT QUICK FACTS
