The Red Chestnut Bach flower, also known as Marronnier rouge in French, is a species of tree resulting from the cross between the common horse chestnut (Aesculus hyppocastanum) and the red buckeye (Aesculus pavia). Much smaller than the common horse chestnut, the red chestnut is often used as a decorative tree in parks and gardens as well as along roadsides; it rarely exceeds 20 meters in height. The flowering period of the red chestnut takes place between May and June: it produces very fragrant pink and red flowers grouped in cymes.

The intense color of its flowers is a symbol of strong involvement in the outside world; no other Bach flower is as colorful. A true strength emanates from the red chestnut flowers, which then give way to green pods containing inedible conkers that fall in October. To thrive, the red chestnut needs sun and space; it must have at least 15 meters of space around it to spread its drooping branches. The Red chestnut Bach flower is produced by boiling the flowering branches; this essence is dark plum in color, a color representing empathy.
