The Horse Chestnut tree

 

This is the Forty in Cholsey it is dominated by a couple of trees, the one on the left is a walnut tree which was pollared over the winter so lacks growth, the other tree is a Horse Chestnut or as most kids will tell  you a conker tree because of the nuts that are dropped in the autumn and sought after to play conkers with 

 It was well in flower when I took the photos and looks glorious in the clear blue sky
