Horse Chestnut

Aesculus x carnea 'Fort McNair' is a medium-sized deciduous tree featuring striking upright panicles of pink flowers with yellow throats in mid-spring. It develops a dense, rounded crown with lustrous, dark green palmately compound foliage that offers excellent shade. This cultivar is prized for its superior resistance to leaf blotch and scorch. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soils, making it an ideal specimen or accent tree for residential landscapes and urban parks.
