The Most Magnificent Horse Chestnut Tree (4K) 

This is one of most wonderful Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) trees that I've ever come across and I wanted to share it with everyone! This incredible tree is living behind the scenes at Kew Gardens and is a fascinating specimen.
During the video I talk a little bit about this particular tree and briefly explain some of the interesting characteristics of Horse chestnut flowers.
I'm always very grateful to come across trees such as this one and its a pleasure to share it with you. I hope I managed to capture the beauty of this tree and the wonderful atmosphere when standing underneath its vast canopy.
I highly recommend the book Alan Mitchell's Trees of Britain which I mentioned in the video for anyone wishing to learn more about a wide range of trees found in the UK!
