Aesculus Hippocastanum F. Pendula

Weeping aesculus, scientifically known as Aesculus hippocastanum f. pendula, is a striking ornamental tree that captivates with its unique, cascading form. This cultivar of the horse chestnut tree is prized for its soft, drooping branches that create a natural fountain-like appearance. Native to Europe, it thrives in temperate climates and is often used in gardens and public spaces for its visual appeal. Its large, palmately lobed leaves and showy white flowers add both texture and color to the landscape. Despite its beauty, it requires well-drained soil and partial shade to flourish successfully.
