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.

Why Plant Early Glow™ Buckeye?

Early Glow™ Buckeye is a game changer for fall color lovers who hate waiting. While most trees are still green, this standout selection is already glowing in warm orange red hues, signaling the start of autumn ahead of schedule. Through summer, it carries large, handsome leaves that give the canopy a lush, almost tropical feel. As a refined selection of a native buckeye, it combines toughness with beauty, offering dependable performance and improved color. If you want your landscape to feel alive and seasonal before everyone else’s even starts changing, Early Glow™ earns its name in a big way.

How to use Early Glow™ Buckeye in the landscape?

Plant Early Glow™ Buckeye as a focal shade tree where its early color can be enjoyed from the house, patio, or main living areas of the yard. It works beautifully in front lawns, large backyards, and park-like settings where there is room for its canopy to develop. Use it to anchor a landscape design or to extend the fall display when paired with later-coloring trees and evergreens. Its bold leaves and early color make it especially effective as a standalone specimen that does not need much support to shine.

How Does Shipping Work?

Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.

*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.

Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.

Shipping Delays:

From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.

How Does Sizing Work?

The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)

Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.

All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
