The Red Horse Chestnut tree (Aesculus carnea 'Briotii') is somewhat unusual in that it differs, mainly from the Common Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) in the colour of its red flowers. This compact, dome-headed tree has a densely leaved form. Its conkers or fruits are small and less spiny, often altogether without spines, than those of the Horse Chestnut. A slow-growing tree, it is resistant to 'Chestnut Leaf Miner'. A large tree, expect a height of over 6m (20ft) after 10 years. Our red Horse Chestnut trees are supplied at a height of between 1.0 and 1.2 metres in a 12 litre container for year round planting. Message card included at no additional cost if required. Just add the information required on the card at checkout.
All ornamental trees (not vines) are topped at 1.3 metres to encourage a natural ornamental tree shape with obvious exceptions e.g. patio sizes.This means that your tree was pruned during the growing process and then allowed to grow to the size it is now supplied at.
