Yellow Buckeye, Sweet Buckeye

Aesculus flava, known as Yellow Buckeye and Sweet Buckeye , is a great looking Horse Chestnut type which produces candles of yellow flowers in the spring. Its green leaves are finely cut and it originates from America, introduced into the UK way back in the mid-1700s.

A great choice for parkland, this broad tree can reach in excess of 20 metre in height. Aesculus flava thrives on any well drained soil away from the coast and produces a good autumn display of yellow.
