European Chestnut 68. Next Near a collection of fire hydrants north of Bagley Hall is a European Chestnut tree, its trunk about one and a half feet thick. Recall the Skagit Lane horse chestnuts , and note that this has different leaves, flowers and nuts. Each leaf is prominently ribbed with straight veins ending in pointy teeth. The flowers are narrow spikes, heavy smelling, creamy-white in late June or July.
Needles completely cover the nut husks.
