Default Buckeye or chestnut need help...

I have a plant I can't figure out what it is... I actual have two trees of the same thing and one has white flowers and the one in question has red flowers. The white one never makes any seeds but the red one does, only about three to five seeds a year...... on the whole tree. I have been trying to get them to grow for about 4 years with no luck.... until now... what I did is put the seeds in the frig. for about three months and then put it in a plastic container for a month that held the moisture in & the seeds started to swell and start to grow... We have buckeye trees here in the area but they get really big, my tree is about 20+ or so years old and only about 15'- 20' tall I am guessing...
I only got three seeds off the tree this year and in the picture is the seed & the other two, one just sprouted and the other is growing good.... Is there hybrids of buckeye trees or is it a chestnut? Thanks for looking any imput will help.





and this is the tree by the patio with the flowers on it.
