Looks like Aesculus x carnea. Common name red horsechestnut. http://www.greenbeam.com/rs/nm_pdfs/19922_008.pdf
Agree with Aesculus × carnea. Very surprising that this can be grown in Amman! It prefers a much cooler, moister climate.
Thanks Michael F for the information and for your concern, for your information (Amman, Jordan) is very cold in winter and it freezes sometimes, it snow annually for couple of times but it does not last long, the rain is not much and it average about 500mm a year in Amman, the summer is dry but nice most of the time except for two weeks from end of July to middle of august where it reach around 36 Degree Centigrade at noon time and it average around 31C in July and August, most of the trees which I ask about is mainly imported from outside Jordan mainly from Italy, Holland and turkey, some of them are doing great and others really looks ugly , I am planning to plant my country house next year that is why I am trying to get the most information about the trees and plant which looks healthy in our local parks, thanks again .
It grows well here (northern England), with average July-August temperatures of 16°C, only very rarely above 23°C on the hottest days, and all-year rainfall (no long dry periods). I think in Amman, it will need a lot of irrigation in the summer.
Would seem liable to develop leaf problems during summers there. This is common among many kinds of horse chestnuts being subjected to dry weather. Doesn't kill the tree, but does kill its beauty during the time it occurs. Likely if you viewed the planting shown later in the year you would find the leaves to be damaged.
Yes you are right, just now I was in a visit to a garden center and they told me that the edges of the leaves will become brown in color and dry, we have a fruit tree called “Loquat” it looks very showy now with the fruit hanging down but when the summer starts the leaves will turn brown and looks ugly, thanks for the advise
