A closer view of the Moreton Bay Chestnut tree's red/orange flowers. Photo taken in Balboa Park, San Diego, CA. on Aug. 13, 2011.

Very different from the chestnut trees in the UK.

Rbtkew:

It's not related to the ones in the UK. Moreton Chestnut is in the Fabaceae (or Leguminosae) family not the Fagaceae family.
