Pretty certain it is a Horse chestnut tree @Jos

Yes it's defo a horse chestnut @jos

Thanks however I bought this plant a few years ago at a plant fair and it grew nicely then became strangled by weed. I bought it because it had a leaf like a horse chestnut but it isn't. I think it grows to about 4-5 ft I think has ginormous leaves all the same shape and it might have a fluffy white flower. As I said it was choked my husband dug up the tuber type root and potted it. This is the result so far. Does that help any one?

Looks and sounds like rodgersia

I agree with @joanboston and based on your description would say this is a Rodgersia pinnata

I've just looked at a picture of the fully grown plant and I'm sure your right. I sort of recognised the name but I had forgotten and did not know where to look. Thank you We will take better care this time. Do you think that it should be kept in a pot till it gets bigger?

It likes to be damp and likes shade @Jos

Thanks
