Yellow Buckeye
Aesculus flava
Yellow Buckeye is a large, slow-growing native tree of the eastern woodlands that makes a bold statement in the landscape with its dramatic, palmate compound leaves and upright clusters of showy yellow flowers in spring. Growing 40–60 feet tall, it develops a full, rounded canopy that provides generous shade and creates a lush, tropical-feeling understory beneath its broad leaves. Its large, smooth-hulled nuts ripen in fall and are eagerly consumed by squirrels, while its striking silhouette and reliable seasonal performance make it a distinguished specimen for parks, estates, and large residential landscapes.
