The horse chestnut, a majestic tree native to the Balkans, is a symbol of strength and protection. Its leaves composed of 5 to 7 serrated leaflets provide generous shade in summer and take on magnificent golden hues in fall. Its cone-shaped white flowers, grouped in erect clusters, fill the air with their sweet scent in May. These flowers attract bees who make a delicate and fragrant honey.
Its fruits, chestnuts, wrapped in a capsule bristling with thorns, are toxic to humans but are a delight for squirrels and birds. Its gray-brown bark, smooth and cracked with age, testifies to its longevity and resistance.
The horse chestnut, an emblematic tree of cities and parks, brings a touch of elegance and nobility to its environment. Its imposing silhouette and spectacular flowering make it a tree very appreciated for its aesthetics and its beneficial shade.
In summary, the horse chestnut embodies beauty, strength and generosity, a true invitation to contemplation and connection with nature.
