Aesculus x carnea Briotii  the Red Horse Chestnut

One of the great flowering trees, Aesculus x carnea Briotii is commonly called the red horse chestnut.

Large red flower from spring to summer along with large deep green textured foliage.

This is a deciduous tree, that has a good natural growth habit and tolerated a range of climates from cool to warm temperate.

Being slower growing, and naturally more compact in growth habit than the common Horse Chestnut, it makes an ideal shade tree.

Flowering from a young age, it could be used as a feature tree in the garden or as a shade tree in parks.

Care

This is a tree that is well suited to cool to temperate areas of Australia and is perhaps underused in parks and gardens. Attractive flowers are the main attraction.

Planted in a sunny to part shaded position in good soil this is a long lived tree that will require very little care or attention once established.
