Forestry 449 [Horse Chestnut or Bongay. (JEsculus Hippocastanum) A large tree sometimes 100 feet high. Wood, soft, white, close- grained; poor timber. Leaflets 5 to 7 inches long. A foreigner; now widely introduced in parks and roadsides; named either as "horse-radish," "horse-fiddle" and "horse bean" were through using the word "horse" to mean large and coarse, or possibly because the scars on the twigs look like the orint of a horse's hoof.
