Aesculus pavia - Red Buckeye

The Red Buckeye - Aesculus pavia - is not native to Maine but survives well in the climate here. This one was planted by the previous owners of the house, one of whom works for Fedco Trees. It is small, multistemmed, and half-hidden by tall grasses and other herbaceous perennials. Native to areas such as Ohio, these can be a showy ornamental when larger.
