More information

Tall deciduous tree reaching a height of 20 metres, with a rounded crown. It bears palmate leaves and light yellow flowers with pink highlights in paniculate spikes in spring followed by seeds enclosed in a thorny casing. It is ornamental due to its flowering and dense foliage, which provides shade in summer. The Yellow Buckeye prefers rich, well-drained soils in full sun or partial shade. It tolerates some limestone and drought once established but requires regular watering in the early years.

Description

Aesculus flava, commonly known as Yellow Buckeye or Yellow Horse Chestnut, is a magnificent deciduous tree for ornamental use in parks and large gardens. With its imposing silhouette, dense palmate foliage, and decorative spring flowering, it makes a beautiful shade tree. Its slightly pinkish-yellow flower panicles attract pollinators and contribute to biodiversity. Hardy and easy to maintain, the Yellow Buckeye adapts to a wide range of soils and climates.

Aesculus flava is a large deciduous tree native to eastern North America. It belongs to the Sapindaceae or Hippocastanaceae family, just like the common horse chestnut. This tree can reach up to 20 m in height, with a straight trunk and a wide, rounded crown. Its grey-brown bark is deeply furrowed, giving it a rough and textured appearance. The leaves are compound, usually with 5 ovate, toothed leaflets, each measuring up to 20 cm long. They are dark green on the upper side, but much paler on the underside: the contrast is striking, especially when illuminated by the sun. They turn golden to brown before falling quite early in autumn. Flowering occurs in spring, between April and early June depending on the climate. The flowers are arranged in upright clusters called panicles, which can measure up to 20-25 cm long. Each flower is tubular, with five yellow petals tinged with red on the inside and prominent stamens. The flowers are rich in nectar and attract numerous pollinators, including bees and butterflies. After pollination, the flowers transform into smooth, brown capsules usually containing one to three shiny, brown seeds. These seeds are enclosed in a spiky husk that opens at maturity to release them. Aesculus flava is also valued for its wood. It is heavy, hard, and durable, making it useful for construction, furniture making, and even musical instrument production. All parts of the tree, especially the seeds, contain alkaloids that can be toxic to humans and certain animals if ingested.

The Yellow Buckeye is appreciated for its spring flowering and dense foliage, which provides welcome shade in summer. It can be planted individually in a large garden or in rows along a wide avenue. At its base, one can plant asters or echinaceas, as well as landscape roses and colourful Berberis. Ornamental grasses such as Miscanthus and Panicum can be planted in groups near the Yellow Buckeye to create an interesting contrast with its imposing silhouette.

Horse chestnut, Aesculus hippocastanum: planting, growing and care

Read article

Ah Aesculus... These charming trees and bushes are... What do you mean: what? Oh yes, true, they are seldom called by their genus name... But if I say "pavier" or, above all, "horse chestnut". Ah there you go! That rings a bell. The best-known of them, the horse chestnut, found in our parks and along avenues, is far too imposing to find a place in our gardens despite its spectacular flowering. No need to panic, however: other, much more compact Aesculus exist. Like the simple but always effective <a href="https://www.promessedefleurs.ie/shrubs/shrubs-by-variety/aesculus-horse-chestnut/aesculus-parviflora.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">white buckeye or Aesculus parviflora</a>, which forms a bush wider than tall with foliage first bronze then dark green and finally yellow in autumn. Or a charming dwarf horse chestnut <a href="https://www.promessedefleurs.ie/shrubs/shrubs-by-variety/aesculus-horse-chestnut/aesculus-mutabilis-induta.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aesculus mutabilis 'Induta'</a>, a deciduous bush with a rounded crown that will never exceed 2.50 m in height, with palmate leaves of a lovely lime-green that provide a setting for a superb spring flowering in candle-shaped spikes from red to salmon-pink. Another quite astonishing horse chestnut is <a href="https://www.promessedefleurs.ie/shrubs/shrubs-by-variety/aesculus-horse-chestnut/aesculus-neglecta-autumn-fire.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aesculus neglecta,</a> which is a small tree but with slow growth and will not exceed ten metres in height, splendid in spring with young bronze-copper leaves that turn light green in summer before taking on a flamboyant red‑orange autumn display. In short, don't stop at the horse chestnut when Aesculus are mentioned. There are several different species and varieties that can be accommodated without problem in the smallest gardens. Each has its own assets: foliage, form and flowering. All horse chestnuts should be planted in sun or partial shade. These bushes or small trees like to grow in any soil provided it is sufficiently rich, deep and remains cool. Note that Aesculus flowering is not just for show: fragrant flowers attract many butterflies and other pollinating insects.

Planting and care

Plant Aesculus flava in spring or autumn in deep, well-drained soil, in a sunny or partially shaded location. Deep digging is recommended before planting. Limestone is tolerated in moderation. Avoid very acidic and poor soils. Water and mulch to maintain soil moisture. Yellow Buckeye requires regular watering during its early years of growth. Once established, it tolerates drought well. However, regular watering during prolonged dry periods is recommended. Pruning is not necessary, but it can be done to maintain a beautiful shape or limit its size. It should be done after flowering. This tree does not require regular feeding but it can benefit from an annual application of organic fertiliser in spring.

Common diseases of Yellow Buckeye include anthracnose, leaf spots, and root rot, which are all caused by fungi and can be prevented by avoiding waterlogged soil and providing good air circulation. Bacterial canker is another disease to watch out for, which can be prevented by avoiding injury to the tree's bark.
