We’d like to focus on Aesculus carnea (‘Briotii’), which often grows somewhat more broadly and erratically.
Aesculus x carnea ‘Briotii’ is a cultivar of the red horse chestnut. The flowers, arranged in upright panicles, appear on the tree in May; they are very ornamental and dark red in color. The tree does bear fruit, but fruit production is often limited. The fruit consists of husks with almost no spines, each typically containing two or three chestnuts.
