Category: Plants

The common European Horse Chestnut (A. hippocastanum) is unlikely to survive climate change but this Indian version has better summer heat tolerance and is less vulnerable to disease than its European cousin. Prominent pink and white upright flower panicles appear in summer, later than its cousin, with dense shade from its large, narrow green foliage thereafter. Drops distinctive 'conker' seeds. Medium growth rate.

Scarlett G. ★★★★★

The foliage is noticeably fuller and healthier than my old European chestnut, even during last month's heatwave. Thrilled this Indian variety handles our humid summers so well, with zero signs of disease so far.

David ★★★★★

Planted this in early spring and it’s already showing strong growth, even through our first heatwave. The foliage looks healthier than any horse chestnut I’ve tried before, with no signs of the usual leaf blotch.

Mia T. ★★★★★

Planted this in late summer and it’s already pushing new growth with no signs of leaf blotch, which my old European chestnut struggled with every year. The heat tolerance is the real selling point—we hit 95°F for weeks and it didn’t drop a single leaf.
