Reading these figures
Taxon characteristics; actual size and flowering in the garden depend on conditions.

The garden catalogue records this plant as Aesculus sp.. The record is insufficient to assign all growing characteristics reliably.

Without a precise species or cultivar identification, mature height, flowering time and lifespan cannot be stated responsibly. We retain the original designation to preserve the planting record.
