A Few Words About the Horse Chestnut Tree

Native to southern Europe, specifically the Balkan States, the Horsechestnut is widely planted throughout Europe, and popularly planted in this country. Heights can be anywhere from 30 to 80 feet tall, broad to very broad in shape, with dense branching. The flowers are creamy-white, appearing about late April through early June. The nuts are encased in a thick spiny leathery 3-parted husk, and the seeds ripen about mid September to mid-October. The leaves are medium to light green and have serrations along the edges. This tree can be planted from USDA Plant zones 5 to 9, as a flowering shade tree, windbreak, or barrier tree. Growth rates would be considered medium-fast, about 2 to 3 feet a year once the tree gets established. One of the up and coming popular varieties has pink flowers.

 That's just an exert from the Book... Ok, yes, we are promoting the book. It's a pretty good read though, easy, informative, and talks about the Horse Chestnut. Isn't that reasonable?

Quaking Aspen is a very popular tree nearly nationwide. Aspens are fast growing, white trunks, with attract leaves that flutter in the wind. Overall, a pretty nice tree for the landscape design, either for commercial projects, or just at home.

Now the Aspen, in the Populus genus, belongs to the Willow Family (Salicaceae), a large family of trees and shrubs, of which the genus comprises about 30 true species found throughout the northern hemisphere. Many of the species are used for various lumber or pulp products, and many of the trees are used in shelterbelt and environmental plantings. Aspens provide a valuable food source for many animals, which browse the leaves and shoots, and sometimes the bark. They are a pioneer tree, fast growers, among the first to colonize burned or cutover areas.

The Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) has a huge natural range, and is the widest spread hardwood in North America. Aspens are native from the almost the Arctic Circle, across nearly all of Canada, down the Rocky Mountains and Cascade ranges, into the Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico. Over this vast range, there are a wide array of phenotypical and genotypical variants. That is, there are biological differences within the species, hereditary adaptations, from the interaction of the various environments the trees are found. These differences are most notably in the flowering and fruiting dates,  leaf growth, and dormancy. Trees from northern Canada, for example, will look the same as Aspens from Colorado, but their biological functions will occur at different times. Trees from the southern ranges, might not grow or do as well if planted in the northern areas. Across the entire range, there are natural hybrids and varieties.
