Something Aesculus. Watch for flowers.

Like a Horse Chestnut, I have a pink flowering one.


Here is our database for Aesculus with many entries having multiple photos.

Agree with Aesculus sp., and likely one with exotic influence.

Most (all?) native Aesculus sp. will have flatter smoother foliage (always palmately compound, opposite arrangement along stem). European Aesculus species like Aesculus hippocastanum and its hybrid Aesculus x carnea will have that more ruffled appearance, typically shinier foliage, maybe a bit toothier along the margins, and will have sticky terminal buds.

And, with petiolules clearly absent - that's definitely in the European Horsechestnut/hybrid camp.

Here's a few images of Aesculus hippocastanum 'Baumannii' in Louisville KY:






Here are a few images of Red Horsechestnut - Aesculus x carnea:

John, great photos! Can I add them to the database?

Sure, Sue - be my guest. Thanks for the opportunity.

The Red Horse-chestnut photos are from my garden here at Viburnum Valley in Scott County KY, if that helps round things out.
