Aesculus × carnea, or red horse-chestnut,[1] is a medium-sized tree, an artificial hybrid between A. pavia (red buckeye) and A. hippocastanum (horse-chestnut).

[2] Aesculus × carnea's features are typically intermediate between the parent species, but it inherits the red flower color from A. pavia.

Its showy flowers are borne in plumes on branch ends, blooming in spring and producing leathery fruit capsules in fall.

Its leaves are dark green, palmately compound, and deciduous, each leaf divided into five large, toothed leaflets.
