Tree photos required please.

[2dogs2000]

I am doing a forestry course and I need to make an I.D. chart. I feel I must include the Horse Chestnut tree. Has anyone got any photos of the flowers that I can use as I can't wait until spring?

It would also be helpful if anyone had photos of the flowers and fruit of Aesculus x carnea Hayne. I think I have got that one right. (I am talking about the one with the pink flowers and spineless fruit.)


Thank you

Here's a photo of Red Horse-chestnut, Aesculus x carnea, in flower; this one I'd already posted in my diary thread.

I do have a few decent photos of both species in flower, I'll post them as soon as I get chance to re-size them for the Gallery.

Is this one of any use?

Are these tree photos any good?

This is the fruit from the pink horse chestnut tree.

Thank you. Now I am getting spoilt for choice. I knew I could rely on you Wabbers to help me out.

I have got a photo of some of the leaves with the moth damage if you need to refer to that.

Don't know if your interested in this but this is a spiders egg sack on a leaf of of the same tree as the fruit came from..
