    The very unusual leaves of this beauty are deeply and irregularly cut, very narrow, even needle-like, they add another layer of interest to the always beautiful horse chestnut; incredibly slow-growing but well worth the time, this 10-15'(in our lifetime) tree/shrub could be held in a container for a very long time.

    This is a cut-leaf form of our native horse chestnut. It has very narrow, deeply cut leaf segments. It is a clear green in spring and summer and buttercup yellow in fall. It makes a handsome tree is a larger setting.

    Truly a plant magnet for the plantaholic, this spidery leafed form of the Horse Chestnut is a rare bird. Slow growing, but can get large over time.

    By: Dancing Oaks Nursery

    This is an exotic varient of the common horse chestnut tree, but looks more like a maple with extreme cut leaves. A slow grower to 15' high, hardy in zone 4. A good container plant when small or a fine center of focus plant when larger.
