The horse chestnut tree is part of a completely different family that's native to the Balkan peninsula, though it now grows throughout the world.
These trees can live to be over 300 years old and grow to be about 130 feet tall.
They have small, green, spiky pods with dark brown, nut-like seeds inside. It gets its name because the stem looks like a horseshoe when the leaf breaks off.
It was thought to help horses with coughs.
Horse chestnut contains a number of beneficial compounds that can be derived from the seed, bark, or leaf - though the seed is most commonly used.
The scientific name for horse chestnut is Aesculus hippocastanum. Horse chestnut is also known as the conker tree and its seeds were the source of a common British and Irish children's game called 'conkers.'
