Noteworthy Characteristics

Aesculus indica, commonly known as Indian horsechestnut, is native to the northwestern Himalayas. It is a medium to large deciduous tree that typically grows to 40-60’ (occasionally to 100') tall with an upright, oval-rounded crown. This tree is noted for producing exceptional flowers in late spring to early summer plus excellent foliage throughout the growing season. Flowers bloom early to mid-summer in upright cylindrical panicles (to 12-15" long and 5" wide). Bloom occurs about one month later than the bloom for Aesculus hippocastanum (common horsechestnut). Each 4-petaled flower (to 1" long) is pinkish-white tinged with yellow markings (panicles appear pink/rose from a distance). Flowers are followed by inedible fruits in 2-3" rough but spineless capsules. Fruit capsules on the tree are interesting but not particularly ornamental. Gray-brown bark is smooth but fissured. Opposite, compound, palmate leaves, each with seven obovate to lanceolate leaflets (to 9" long), emerge bronze-green in spring, mature to dark green by summer and develop late but often attractive yellow to orange color in fall.

Horsechestnuts and chestnuts are in totally different families. Horsechestnuts and buckeyes (Aesculus) are in the horsechestnut family (Hippocastanaceae) and produce poisonous nuts. Chestnuts (Castanea) are in the beech family (Fagaceae) and produce edible nuts.

Genus name is the Latin name for a kind of oak bearing edible acorns but applied by Linnaeus to this genus.

Specific epithet means of India but has been applied to plants from the East Indies as well as into China.

'Sydney Pearce' was selected as a cultivar by Sydney Pearce, Assistant Curator of Kew Gardens, in 1935. In comparison to the species, this cultivar features deeper pink flowers in denser flower panicles.
