A rare buckeye that jumps the season, lighting up the landscape with glowing orange red fall color weeks earlier than most trees
FEATURES:
- Exceptional early fall color in vivid orange red tones
- Reliable, uniform selection with strong structure
- Bold, tropical looking leaves bring texture through summer
- Excellent shade tree for lawns and open landscapes
- Native buckeye toughness with improved ornamental appeal
- Great choice for extending the fall color season
- Hand selected, Fresh from the Grower
- Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree; does not fit in a box
Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:
Give Early Glow™ Buckeye full sun for the strongest canopy and best fall color. Water consistently during the first few seasons to establish a deep root system, then transition to deep watering during prolonged dry periods. Mulch generously around the root zone to help maintain even moisture, keeping mulch away from the trunk. Prune lightly in late winter to maintain structure and remove crossing branches. Pair this tree with later-turning maples or oaks to stretch your fall color season from early autumn well into the later months.
