Atago Mountain Plants-Tree 3 (Ki-ko)

ノボロギク

Chestnut. Beech family Chestnut. It is dioecious and blooms from May to June. From September to October, a few fruits are borne in acorns with squid. It seems that there are two or three chestnut trees from the falling squid, but so far it has not been possible to identify which tree.

開花期は5～8月だが、温かい地域では通年で咲く。筒状花で7mmほどの冠毛がある。
