The Horse Chestnut gets its common and scientific names from the fact that people living in the South East of Europe, where the tree originates from, fed the conkers to horses as a form of medicine, thus the horse in the common name and hippo (Greek for horse) in the scientific name.
The Woodland Trust has predicted that an early crop of conkers could be damaged by the horse chestnut leaf miner moth which is drying out leaves and turning them brown.
