EspañolAESCULUS FLAVA
(Redirected from Yellow Buckeye)
'Yellow Buckeye' (''Aesculus flava'', syn. ''A. octandra'') is a species of buckeye native to eastern North America, from Pennsylvania, west to eastern Illinois, and south to northernmost parts of Alabama and Georgia. It is a medium-sized deciduous tree growing to 20-35 m tall.
The leaves are palmately compound with five (rarely seven) leaflets, 10-25 cm long and broad. The flowers are produced in panicles in spring, yellow to yellow-green, each flower 2-3 cm long with the stamens shorter than the petals (unlike the related Ohio Buckeye, where the stamens are longer than the petals). The fruit is a smooth (spineless), round or oblong capsule 5-7 cm diameter, containing 1-3 nut-like seeds, 2.5-3.5 cm diameter, brown with a whitish basal scar. The fruit of the Yellow Buckeye is poisonous to humans.
Yellow Buckeye is an attractive ornamental tree suitable for parks and large gardens.
