Horse Chestnut - Aesculus Hippocastanum

The Horse Chestnut Tree for which the latin name is Aesculus Hippocastanum is also known as the 'Conquer Tree'. I found this particular Horse Chestnut in All Saints Park late November, the weather was that of a typical Autumns day - traces of sunlight and reasonable winds. The Horse-Chestnut is a large deciduous tree, with a massive domed crown. The leaves are large, long-stalked and palmate.
