A small tree seen in a cultivated garden in New Jersey during my visit in June,2017.
Seems to be Aesculus Species.
Experts kindly verify.

Could be A. parviflora,

Its a shrub. a buckeye… colloquially known as bottlebrush buckeye. telltale is the narrow inflorescence (unlike the horse chestnut tree we all love).
look at this Univ of Illinois Extension UTUBE, it 8 years old but very timely for our purpose
