Aesculus × carnea 'Briotii'
Aesculus × carnea 'Briotii', also known as the red horse chestnut 'Briotii', is a large, majestic ornamental tree renowned for its spectacular rose-red blossoms in large, upright panicles in late spring. A cross between the common horse chestnut and a red-flowered species, it combines improved compactness with more vibrant and abundant flowering. Its foliage is broad, dark green, and slightly glossy, creating dense, cool shade in summer. Very hardy, tolerant of pollution and moderate drought, 'Briotii' is an excellent choice for parks, large gardens, or avenue plantings, where it provides structure, shade, and floral interest. Low-maintenance once established, it adapts to most well-drained soils and enhances any landscape on its own.
