Red Horse-Chestnut - Aesculus x carnea

Characteristics and Uses:
This beautiful tree produces magnificent dark pink flowers on red stems in spring. It can be planted alone, in flowerbeds or in rows. It is particularly good for topiary and can be cut into numerous shapes, balls, cubes and rectangles. Apart from the flowers it can also be distinguished from the common horse-chestnut by the buds which are much less sticky and by the fruits which are smaller.
Be careful the fruit is not edible. They are not the same as chestnuts..
