horse chestnut
Buckeye tree relative
A horse chestnut is a large deciduous tree with distinctive palmate leaves and showy white or pink flower clusters, native to the Balkans but widely planted as an ornamental.
The tree produces spiny green husks containing glossy brown seeds, also called horse chestnuts or conkers, which are inedible despite their resemblance to true chestnuts.
In Britain, children traditionally play conkers by threading the nuts on strings and striking opponents' nuts to crack them.
