Yellow buckeye
Aesculus flava
32-0068-A
Height: 90
Spread: 66
DBH: 49.3
Native to eastern North America. Look for this buckeye in the fall when its yellow-orange fall color can be seen from throughout the Arboretum. Wonderful flaky bark, yellow flower clusters, and fantastic fall color make this species a useful native alternative to the disease-prone horsechestnut. Our tree has fully recovered from being badly damaged in the 1991 tornado. It stands tall along the East Brook and can be seen from many vantages throughout the garden.
