A most unusual and rare dwarf Chestnut. It is easy to grow and can be kept in a pot. Grown as a standard with a compact spherical crown. The bronzy- green leaves come in spring from thick buds and are followed by beautiful pink and yellow flowers in April to May. They prefer good loamy and moist well-drained soil and a sunny or partial shady position in a sheltered spot for best results.

Symbolism, Folklore & Old Wives Tales :
History: Dating back to the 18 century but very little is known about this tree but when I find some information I will give an update.
The tree is watered before carefully packed by one of our experienced staff on site. It comes in a cardboard box lined with straw. (We try to use as much recycling material as possible) The box is addressed to the customer or a specified name and address and sent out overnight delivery to arrive on requested dates.
Please note the size of the tree that you are ordering, as our trees are provided for our clients to plant themselves, which may appear at a small size rather than the fully grown tree as shown in the photos. To find out more information, please visit our Delivery & Returns page.
