| Aesculus parviflora
(Bottlebrush Buckeye) was planted quite a few years ago in the woodland
south of Ed's house. This suckering shrub is native to the Southeast United
States and has grown very nicely here. The site is quite shady and dry and
yet this hasn't stopped it. Beautiful coloration to the emergent leaves
in spring, nice creamy white flowers in mid to late summer and beautiful
yellow foliage in the fall make this plant very welcome in the garden. This
Aesculus is probably eight to ten feet in height with a wider spread.
Whenever it needs a pruning, we cut down the stems in question, and the
plant readily sends up new shoots. It coexists with salal and other evergreen
very well, gracefully intermingling with its neighbors.
