Aesculus pavia

RED BUCKEYE

Red Buckeye aka Texas Red Buckeye, procuces very showy clusters of bright red flowers in early to late spring. The leaves are quite unique and grow as 5 leaflet palmately compound, which emerge a bronzy red and later turn dark green. Best grown as a small multi-stem tree. Can grow quite larges if left unpruned. Grow rather slowly so pruning once a year in spring after blooming works well, to keep in bounds.

Once mature, large rounded brown seed is produced.

A very unique plant for any garden!
