Yes we have a few, they can grow quickly at first, out competing other trees and get big if the conditions are right.
The horse chestnut here have a soft spiky shell but the seeds look the same.
I’ve noticed in the past there’s two different coloured blossoms on different trees (white or pinkish red). it has a different Latin name as to distinguish the different coloured blossom ?
Aesculus hippocastanum (White blossom)
Aesculus x carnea. (Pinky red blossom)
This link says the European is the white version and the pinky red is North American related
