YELLOW BUCKEYE

The Yellow Buckeye, also known as the Sweet Buckeye or Big Buckeye, is the largest of the Buckeye Trees. This native reaches close to 60 feet at maturity! Yellowish-white flowers appear from April to June after the leaves appear. Flowers fade to fruit which are dark mahogany nuts encased in a leathery husk. Fall color is a warm orange.

The Yellow Buckeye has a long life span relative to most other plant species and is a moderate grower. It has been hybridized with Aesculus pavia and Aesculus glabra to bring the most interesting results!
