The red horse-chestnut, a cross between horse-chestnut ( A. hippocastanum ) and red buckeye ( A. pavia ), is a striking tree that bursts into color each spring with vibrant pink to red flower clusters. These showy blooms attract hummingbirds and a wide range of insect pollinators. The tree matures into a full, rounded canopy within 5 to 7 years. Known for its toughness, the red horse-chestnut tolerates urban conditions better than either of its parent species, making it a reliable option for challenging sites. While relatively low maintenance, it does produce seeds that are poisonous to people and pets.
