Description
The Horse Chestnut tree is quite common in many parts of the U.K., it is not a native of Britain but originates from South East Europe. It was introduced into Britain during the seventeenth century.
Unlike the similar Sweet Chestnut fruit, humans find that Horse Chestnuts are inedible. However, Horse Chestnut fruits (usually called 'conkers' in Britain) are very popular with children, who have 'conker fights' to discover who has the champion hardest conker!
The conker is suspended by a piece of string and your opponent strikes it with their own conker. The winner is the person whose conker survives.
