Sweet buckeye
Aesculus flava
Sweet buckeye thrives in partial shade and moist, well-drained soils, making it ideal for woodland garden settings or large native landscapes. Water regularly during dry periods, especially when young, as it does not tolerate prolonged drought. Minimal pruning is needed; simply remove any dead or crossing branches in late winter.
