Aesculus × woerlitzensis is a hybrid horse chestnut of garden origin. It is quite similar to red buckeye (Aesculus pavia), except the flower petals on this hybrid are hairy. It is a deciduous tree which typically grows 10-20' (less frequently to 40') tall. Features showy, erect, 5" long panicles of red to orange-red flowers which appear in spring and palmately compound, dark green leaves (yellow-green below) with leaflets to 6" long. Smooth, light brown, globular seed capsules (1-2" diameter) encase 1-2 shiny seeds (horsechestnuts) which ripen in the fall. Flowers are attractive to ruby-throated hummingbirds and bloom in the St. Louis area at about the same time that the hummingbirds return to the area in spring migration.

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