  • Question

    This plant is growing next to a row of arborvitae under a canopy of other trees in my Manchester NH yard. It appears to be a horse chestnut but according to the map isn't native here. Thoughts?

    Answer

    Dear rontrex, yes, your plant is Aesculus hippocastanum (horse-chestnut). This plant is not native to NH, but is planted in that state. Best wishes.
