What's Blooming Now - Red Buckeye 04/06/10







My little Red Buckeye is about 5 feet tall. It will grow to about 20 feet tall. By mid summer buckeyes lose all their leaves (as opposed to losing them in the fall when all the other trees lose theirs). This does not make them a good candidate for a tree in the front yard of a home in a subdivision. But it is perfect for a woodland setting such as mine. Red Buckeyes like a little shade. They are understory trees. I think the leaves are very pretty.
