Aesculus californica is more commonly referred to as the California Buckeye, a native, robust plant that brings a distinctive beauty to any garden. Ideal for full sun to partial shade locations, this unique deciduous tree elegantly thrives to a medium to large height of 15-40 feet, introducing a bold aesthetic to your space. Adorned with large, palmate leaves that captivate with their vibrant green in spring and transition to a golden yellow come autumn, the tree delivers year-round interest. Moreover, the Buckeye becomes a visual feast in late spring and early summer, with its showy clusters of white or pink enticing bees. Paying homage to its name, the tree produces large, brown buckeye seeds nestled in pear-shaped fruits; an intriguing feature that comes to view each fall. Surprisingly hardy, the California Buckeye displays a noteworthy tolerance to drought, making it an ideal fit for water-wise gardens. However, bear in mind that all parts of this striking tree are toxic if ingested, a fact to consider in areas with children or pets. Bring a slice of California to your garden with the unforgettable Buckeye, a tree that celebrates the beauty of each season with style.
