Aesculus pavia ~ Red Buckeye
The Red Buckeye, also known as Aesculus pavia, is a small deciduous tree or large shrub that is native to the southern United States. It's known for its showy red flowers in spring and its unique, buckeye nuts in the fall.
This plant typically grows to a height of 10-20 feet with a similar spread. It prefers full sun to part shade and thrives best in well-drained, moist, fertile soils. The Red Buckeye is a great choice for small landscapes or as an understory tree in larger landscapes.
The flowers of the Red Buckeye are red and appear in upright clusters in the spring. The leaves are compound and have a dark green color. The buckeye nuts are encased in a husk and are a favorite of squirrels.
