Aesculus hippocastanum is a large deciduous tree native to the Balkan Peninsula. Native populations are small (&lt;10,000 trees total) and apparently in decline, but the tree has been widely planted in gardens and streets across Europe and other temperate areas from the 17th century onwards. It was voted the UK's favourite tree in a 2017 poll. As a British neophyte, it is occasionally naturalised in open wooded habitats. 3. Horse-chestnut is renowned for the beauty of its large (up to 30 cm long), upright panicles of white flowers, and for the large seeds (up to 42 g each) used in the formerly common children's game of "conkers." More recently, the triterpene glycosides, extractable from various plant parts but especially the seeds, have been widely used in medicine. 4. In much of Europe, horse-chestnut is affected by chestnut bleeding canker (caused 1. by Pseudomonas syringae pv. aesculi), the horse-chestnut leaf miner Cameraria ohridella and the leaf blotch fungus Guignardia aesculi. The canker is likely to lead to death of &lt;10% individuals, but seeds of plants infested with the leaf miner are 40%-50% smaller, which may affect long-term establishment in non-planted areas.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0022-0477</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1365-2745</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13116</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Oxford: John Wiley &amp; Sons Ltd</publisher><subject>Aesculus hippocastanum ; BIOLOGICAL FLORA OF THE BRITISH ISLES ; Biology ; Biotic factors ; Bleeding ; Cameraria ohridella ; Canker ; Chestnut ; chestnut bleeding canker ; Children ; conservation ; Deciduous trees ; Flora ; Flowers ; Frameworks ; Fungi ; geographical and altitudinal distribution ; germination ; Glycosides ; Herbivores ; herbivory ; Islands ; Leaf blotch ; Leaves ; Medicinal plants ; Medicine ; mycorrhiza ; Plant extracts ; Plant parts ; Plants ; reproductive biology ; Seeds</subject><ispartof>The Journal of ecology, 2019-03, Vol.107 (2), p.992-1030</ispartof><rights>2019 British Ecological Society</rights><rights>2019 The Authors.
