The natural spread of the basic species can be found in the Mississippi Valley, in the central areas of the United States (from Texas to the Great Lakes). The name of this species (October Red) also refers to the striking red colour of the autumn foliage, which takes up orange hue immediately in the period before the fall of leaves. Its flowers, which appear at the end of spring, blossom in creamy yellow colour.
It`s time to expand our knowledge of horse chestnut! Unfortunately, the well-known and loved common horse chestnut tree is killed by more and more diseases (pathogens, pests, environmental hazards), so our previously beautiful trees often lose their decorative value by the middle of summer, their foliage is half dried ugly-looking on the branches. Fortunately, here is the solution! Until now unknown horse chestnut trees, originated from other lands, having high resistance against the harms, also high-value ornamental species and their wonderful newest varieties are here! The here offered Ohio horse chestnut is also like this, which is fit as a fiddle, with its shiny dark green foliage crowned with white inflorescences or with its magnificent fiery red autumn foliage colour worthily substitutes, perhaps even surpasses its more commonly known relative!
