Aesculus hippocastanum ‘Baumannii’ is a suitable tree for wide avenues and streets. It is also a beautiful tree for use in green belts or parks. This horse chestnut can eventually grow to a height of approximately 20 meters. Aesculus hippocastanum ‘Baumannii’ is a fruitless cultivar. Its double white flowers are very ornamental.
Because of its relatively heavy branches, which grow upward in an almost vertical arc, this cultivar is sometimes reminiscent of a person raising their arms in the air—hence its nickname, the “hands-up tree.”.
Unfortunately, the tree is susceptible to chestnut blight.
