Description
Sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa).
In the early 1660's, Charles II commissioned Le Notre (gardener to Louis XIV) to design the formal French-style layout of Greenwich Park, London, much of which remains today with its impressive avenues of sweet (Spanish) chestnut. Many of these trees remain as 'veterans' more than 400 years old.
In autumn the park is covered by thousands of these sweet chestnuts.
