Red Horse-chestnut

Aesculus × carnea, the Red Horse Chestnut, is a medium-sized deciduous hybrid tree known for its rounded, dense canopy and striking spring display. It features dark green, palmate leaves that provide excellent shade throughout the summer. In late spring, upright panicles of vibrant rose-red flowers emerge, attracting pollinators like bees and hummingbirds. This tree is well-suited for large lawns, parks, and street plantings, thriving in moist, well-drained soils and cooler climates.
