Their flowers are quite striking in late spring!
Native to North America and some hybrids. Beautiful large to medium shade tree for garden. Flower in late spring and follow with inedible nuts in fall. Nuts contains toxic saponins and will irritate the skin. But squirrels and deers consume them as food.

The red horse chestnut is rather popular now, I am sure you can find a young tree in any nurseries near you! 🙂 Wild life appreciate the nuts very much!
I will keep my eyes open!!
Good luck! 🙂
If you can not find in local nurseries, you can also pay attention near by if anyone grow them, it is easy to spot them now since it is their flowering season and later in late summer or early fall the nuts will ripe and fall to ground, you can easy to ask for or pick some to grow yourselves if you don’t mind growing them from seeds. They do grow fast though. 🙂
