The Horse Chestnut
Although it is well known in Ireland & has been widely planted in parks & garden across Ireland, the Horse Chestnut Tree (Aesculus hippocastanum) is not a native Irish Tree. In saying that, one could argue that after over 200 years of being found in Ireland, the Horse Chestnut Tree has long been naturalised to the Emerald Isle.
