|
|
Climate / Hardiness Zones:
|
| |
Zone 4 to Zone 9

|
|
Growth:
|
| |
Range: Grows from 10' to 20'.
Dirr says: "wide-spreading, suckering, multi-stemmed shrub with many upright, slender branches; often with an irregular, spreading almost stratified appearance; excellent form and texture in the branching structure. Have not seen other plants competing under this buckeye."
|
|
Flowers:
|
| |
Color(s): White
Season(s):
Summer
Dirr says: "produced June - July on 8 to 12" long panicles; outstanding in flower; there are few summer flowering plants that can rival this species. In my mind it is one of the handsomest of all native southeastern flowering shrubs."
|
|
Foliage:
|
| |
Deciduous
Color:
Leaves are dark green and green in the summer and yellow in the fall.
Dirr says: "folaige is little troubled by diseases which afflict A. glabra and A. hippocastanum; have observed bright yellow fall color; expression of good fall color appears to be strongly dependent on ideal environmental conditions."
|
|
Fruit:
|
| |
Color:
Black
Season(s):
Fall
Dirr says: "have not noticed abundant fruit set in northern states possibly because of shortness of growing season; in more southerly areas significant fruit set often occurs, ripen in late September to early October (Athens, GA)."
|
|
Landscape Value:
|
| |
Can be used as a grouping plant.
Dirr says: "excellent for massing, clumping or placing in shrub borders; actually a handsome speciment plant; very effective when used under shade trees and in other shady areas."
