• Hampton Court Gold 10’ A very choice and rare Horse Chestnut with the most extraordinary large soft golden yellow leaves which slowly change to green as the Summer progresses. It arose at Hampton Court Gardens and is quite slow growing and best suited to a position in light shade whereupon it is highly beautiful. Stock limited.

neglecta erythroblastos 8’ This choice and uncommon form has elegant clusters of three leaves which emerge bright salmon pink, recalling the beauty of the better known Acer brilliantissimum, but possibly even more shapely. Very slow growing, older specimens bear panicles of soft yellow flowers in May and June to further enhance the thrall of this exceptional species. It received an AGM in 1962 but has been rare in cultivation ever since. One of our most special trees.
