Strange tree in a park. Zone 6b. Loose cone-shaped florets overall. Pretty ugly ivory color from a distance, but nice white when up-close.

Horse chestnuts produce "conkers", used for a game we used to play in the UK as kids (and older
)

I also played conkers (soak them in vinegar). But these flowers are not at all familiar to me.
