How many different types of conkers there?

Answer 1

Conkers primarily refer to the seeds of the horse chestnut tree (Aesculus hippocastanum), but there are several varieties of chestnut trees that produce conker-like seeds. The most notable types include the common horse chestnut, red horse chestnut, and various species of sweet chestnuts. While the term "conker" is most commonly associated with the horse chestnut, other trees can produce similar seeds, but they are not typically used for the traditional game. Overall, the main focus is on the horse chestnut variety used in conker competitions.
