Horse Chestnut vs Schuettes OakAesculus hippocastanum Quercus × schuettei (Quercus bicolor × Quercus macrocarpa 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.
Schuettes Oak is a naturally occurring hybrid of Swamp White Oak and Bur Oak. With a faster growth than both parent species, it is one of the fastest growing Oak trees. They are known for growing very large and wide, so space them appropriately. It is considered one of the most adaptable Oaks with little preference on soil conditions. It can handle growing in wet, saturated soils as well as those that are dry, clay, or alkaline. HORSE CHESTNUT QUICK FACTSSCHUETTES OAK QUICK FACTS
