Yellow buckeye
Aesculus octandra var. virginicus
The yellow buckeye is a large deciduous shade tree. Susceptible to leaf scorch in full sun, it is best planted in an area with afternoon shade. Despite their showy flowers produced in upright clusters measuring up to 6 inches tall, they are most commonly known for their large mahogany-colored nuts, which historically were pocketed by mid-westerners as a lucky token. Our tree, believed to be a descendant of seeds collected by Washington, is a variety with red, rather than yellow, blooms.
