    ENH223 Aesculus pavia: Red Buckeye1 Edward F. Gilman, Dennis G. Watson, Ryan W. Klein, Andrew K. Koeser, Deborah R. Hilbert and Drew C. McLean2 Introduction Red buckeye is a small North American native tree, capable of reaching 25 to 30 feet tall in the wild though is most often at 15 to 20 feet high when grown in cultivation. Red buckeye is most popular for its springtime display of 3- to 6-inch-long, upright, terminal panicles composed of 1.5-inch-wide, red flowers, which are quite attractive to hummingbirds. These blooms are followed by flat, round capsules that contain bitter and poisonous seeds. The large, dark green, palmate leaves usually offer no great color change in fall and often drop as early as late September.

  • Red Buckeye (Aesculus Pavia)
    Red buckeye (Aesculus pavia) For definitions of botanical terms, visit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_botanical_terms. Red buckeye is a deciduous understory shrub or small tree that typically flowers in late winter through spring. It is one of the first of the red tubular flowering plants to bloom each year, and is important food source for returning hummingbirds and butterflies. It occurs naturally in moist and calcareous hammocks, slope forests, and upland hardwood forests. Red buckeye’s maroon to red, tubular flowers are born in showy, terminal clusters on red pedicels. Leaves are palmately compound with long leaf stalks. They are oppositely arranged. Leaflets are elliptic to obovate with finely serrated margins. The tree or shrub has an open, rounded crown. Its fruit, which appears in the fall, is a large, brown capsule that splits to reveal one to several seeds that look like chestnuts. Family: Sapindaceae (Soapberry family) Photo by Lisa Roberts Native range: Panhandle, north and central peninsula To see where Red buckeye occurs naturally, visit www.florida.plantatlas.usf.edu. Hardiness: Zones 8A–9B Soil: Rich, moist soil, but can tolerate drier soils Exposure: Full sun to partial shade Growth habit: 6–20’ Propagation: Seed Garden tips: Red buckeye is fast-growing and usually flowers early in its life cycle. It can thrive in full sun, but may require additional irrigation. Seeds germinate quickly (sometimes even before they drop from the tree). Caution: Both the leaves and the seeds contain Photo by Walter Taylor saponins and are poisonous to humans and animals if ingested. Red buckeye is often available at nurseries that specialize in native plants.

  • Aesculus - Growing Guide
    Aesculus - Growing Guide Growing Aesculus Buckeye, Horse chestnut It was only after visiting Michael Heseltine’s national collection of Aesculus at Thenhurst that the realisation dawned that this genus can extend the flowering season on to late May and early June in a woodland garden that is, by then, close to finishing up for the season. Aesculus hippocastanum, the horse chestnut may be a common street or parkland flowering tree but other species have much more varied and colourful flowers. This all led to the creation of a new Aesculus plantation in Kennel Close at Caerhays in which there are now 15 species and varieties to admire as ornamental flowering trees. Aesculus x mutabilis ‘Induta’ was one of the stars of the show gardens at Chelsea 2019. This is a slow growing shrub which is ideal for the smaller garden and has apricot coloured flowers with yellow markings. A. x mutabilis ‘Induta’ A. x mutabilis ‘Induta’ A. x mutabilis ‘Induta’ A. pavia, the red buckeye, is another beautiful large shrub with crimson- red flowers. A. chinensis, the Chinese horse chestnut, has long slender cylindrical racemes. Aesculus pavia Aesculus pavia Aesculus parvifolia Aesculus parvifolia Aesculus parvifolia Aesculus parvifolia Aesculus turbiniata Aesculus turbiniata Aesculus turbiniata Aesculus turbiniata Aesculus indica A. indica 'Sydney Pearce' A. indica 'Sydney Pearce' A. indica 'Sydney Pearce' A. indica 'Sydney Pearce' A. x carnea 'Briotii' A. x carnea 'Briotii' A. x carnea 'Briotii' Most of these are large spreading trees which need space to grow in full sun as specimen plants. They have transformed the early summer providing much of interest for late season visitors to Caerhays.

  • Horse-Chestnut Leafminer - Cameraria Ohridella the Moth, Which Is Captured in the Trap Deschka Et Dimic the Wingspan of of This Tiny Moth Is 6-8 Mm
    Horse-chestnut leafminer - Cameraria ohridella The moth, which is captured in the trap Deschka et Dimic The wingspan of of this tiny moth is 6-8 mm. The forewings are golden brown, with white, cuneiform marks. On the head there is a tuft of scales. The wings are elongated, narrow. The species looks very similar at first glance to other, well established leafminers, i.e. Lithocolletis blancardella; it can reliably be told apart from other Lithocolletis spp. only by genitalia analysis. The host plant of the larva includes the white-blossomed variety of horse- www.insektengalerie.de chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), occasionally it can occur also on red- coloured varieties (Aesculus pavia and Aesculus x carnea). The larvae bore mines inside the green leaves. The mine looks more or less transparent when viewed across the sunlight, in contrast to the symptoms of the fungus disease (Guignardia) which causes dark patches on the leaves. The mine is a patch of undefined shape, it may reach across secondary veins (but not across the main veins). Several mines can occur on a single leave, already at the time of the first generation. Mines of later generations may reach into each other resulting in no green surface on the leave. Strong damage usually is followed by defoliation. The CSALOMON® pheromone trap should be suspended from branches at a height of 1.5-2.5 m in the tree canopy. Usual beginning of trapping in Hungary is middle of April. www.leafmines.co.uk Selectivity of the CSALOMON® trap (based on tests performed in Hungary): the pheromone bait is highly selective for C.

Horse chestnut leaf miner (Cameraria ohridella) has achieved ecological success by colonizing the entire European range of its primary host, horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum). This insect has attracted the attention of scientists, but its ecology is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the effects of varying degrees of light availability on the leaf morphology of horse chestnut saplings and the performance of C. ohridella. A pot experiment under greenhouse conditions was performed in which the photosynthetic photon fl ux density (PPFD) was reduced from full light by 50% (high light – HL) or 80% (low light – LL).
