  A horse chestnut tree will fill your garden and shade out everything else ... in years to come you or the next gardener will have an expensive tree felling bill .., and you may also have an expensive bill to repair your drains if they run at the back of your house. 

  
  

  They’re a beautiful tree tho’ ... check out the video in this link https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/british-trees/a-z-of-british-trees/horse-chestnut/
