Chris is right, and it has been attacking Horse Chestnut trees for the last three summers. It's cause by a moth, can't remember which one, which lays eggs on the leaves, the larva burrow into the leaves, but leave the virus which kills them off. |

There is a virus which is attacking horse chestnut trees and in many cases killing them off. You can pick them out as for past two months their leaves have been falling. |

Today I noticed that the horse chestnut trees around us dont seem to have any conkers on them. Do you think it's because of the rubbish summer we have had. |
