Aesculus (Carnea Group) 'Pendula', or Weeping Red Horse Chestnut, was a weeping tree and a cultivar of the Aesculus Carnea Group, the Red Horse Chestnut Group, which is a cultivar group of artificial hybrids between Aesculus pavia and A. hippocastanum.[1] The name first appeared in the 1902 edition of the Hand-list of Trees and Shrubs of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew without description. No trees are known to survive of this cultivar.
Description[]
A weeping tree with a leader and with arching branches. Young plants are reported not to be weeping. The weeping shape only seems to appear in when older. It may be that this is not a true weeping cultivar as older Horse Chestnuts often display arching branches.
Accessions[]
This cultivar does not seem to have been cultivated outside England. It never seems to have been widely cultivated and no trees are known to survive.
