A plant that we've lusted over for decades and have finally acquired a few to share. 'Albomarginata' is a heavily variegated selection of this European native chestnut. Each 4-8" rich green leaf offers high gloss color with a crisp, bold white edge. In late spring, pipe-cleaner-like, cream-yellow catkins are held in clusters amongst the leaves. By fall, crops of edible chestnuts have developed and are enclosed within a spiny casing. Once established plants are strong growing, assuming an impressive framework. Sadly this species is known to be susceptible to chestnut blight so those opting to cultivate it should do so with caution and awareness. 30'
