Solved Weed or Wonder??? - Horse Chestnut Seedling

This has sprouted up on my lawn close to where I placed a Fuchsia last year that wilted and died. It's probably a weed although I looked at weed identification sites and can't find it.

I'd love it to be the Fuchsia but can someone tell me what it really is before I pull it out??

Thanks

 

Horse Chestnut (conker tree) seedling

 

I think you are right!!! Thanks - I'll pull it up!

 

If you leave it for 100 years it will grow to over 50 foot high and look truly magnificent at this time of year covered in flower spires.

 

I'm sure it would look magnificent but it would also have caused subsidence of my house being only 10ft from the back wall!! And as I plan to still be living here in 100 years time I'd rather not have the problem.....

 

Ask for permisson of the land owner first

 

Would it be a possible Bonsai.

 

"Would it be a possible Bonsai."

They can be bonsai'd...see

I just cannot bear to throw anything alive away.

 

Marley Farley...it looks superb......have you ever had flowers on it?

 

I did rather wonder if conker trees would become an emotive issue. I've saved/sown/planted a few from special trees I've known.
