Indian Horse Chestnut
Aesculus Indica
Overview
The Indian Horse Chestnut (Aesculus indica) is an ornamental tree revered for its impressive stature, reaching up to 75 feet tall. Its large, palmate leaves create a dense canopy, and in summer, it boasts long, upright panicles of pink-tinged white flowers. This deciduous beauty prefers well-drained soil and flourishes in full sun to partial shade. Its autumn display of oblong, spiny fruits adds a unique textural element to any landscape design.
