‘Briotii’
Aesculus x carnea ‘Briotii’ Ruby Red Horse chestnut is a hybrid between the North American Red Buckeye and the European Horse Chestnut. In the spring, it has beautiful large panicles of red flowers. Briotii is a cultivar with even larger, darker red flowers. The leaves, like those of other buckeyes and horse chestnuts, radiate in distinctive whorls of several leaflets. Ruby Red Horse Chestnut grows to about 10 metres tall, with a dense, broadly round canopy. This tree can be found by following the Arboretum circle road about 140 metres until you get to the gate on the right hand side; the tree is on the opposite side, across from the gate.
