Description

Aesculus × carnea 'Fort McNair' is a remarkable ornamental hybrid horse chestnut, notably for its abundant spring flowering in panicles of bright pink flowers with yellow centers. It has a broad, regular pyramidal shape and dense foliage that turns yellow in the fall. This variety is also known for its increased resistance to foliar diseases, such as powdery mildew or leaf blight, ensuring a lasting aesthetic appearance throughout the season. Ideal for avenues, parks, or large gardens, 'Fort McNair' offers an excellent compromise between floral beauty and structural robustness.
