was that a project when you were at primary school.
I have a mountain Ash i inherited from my dad that flowers and produces berries grows in a pot but I don't look after it properly so a weird shape.

Amy it is only in about an 7/8in pot I will take a picture.I have never shaped it up only kept it for nostalgia.probably a bit late to try pruning it now.
I am quite a nostalgic person and was thinking about your Horse Chestnut tree and found myself counting on my fingers how old the one is in my garden dad planted as a seedling that was 1968 the year he retired so only a few years older than yours .will take a pic from my bedroom window in the rain and post it .it could not be more different to yours.
