Aesculus × carnea ‘Fort McNair’

Common Name: Red Horsechestnut

This improved Aesculus × carnea cultivar offers showy reddish-pink flower panicles with yellow throats in May, set against glossy dark green foliage. It begins with a pyramidal outline and matures into a dense, rounded shade tree ideal for large spaces. Noted for resistance to leaf blotch, its fruit attracts wildlife, but is toxic to people and pets.
