horsechestnut
Spiky-hulled shade tree
A horsechestnut is a large deciduous tree with distinctive palmate leaves and showy white or pink flower clusters.
In autumn it produces spiny green husks containing glossy brown nuts called conkers, which are inedible despite resembling true chestnuts.
The tree is common in parks and along streets in Europe and North America.
Also spelled horse chestnut.
