newb to the site. have had Xanthoceras for around 10yrs and being a single plant it has never produced. this year after planting a hybrid Red Horsechestnut i have one fruit/pod. I recall reading at some point that while Xanthoceras Sorbifolia is in a world unto itself that it was "closely related" to either Horsechestnut or Buckeye. (i do not remember which) Since my ornamental is a Aesculus × Carnea im just wondering if there is some chance of this being the pollen source. ive finally gotten my Yellowhorn a partner so in a year or two there should be some legit/fertile seeds. I am just wondering how it managed to put on a fruit this year. I am anxious for fall to pop it open and see if its just an empty pod.
