An original creation of horticultural art all created locally in the Milwaukee area by Michael Yanny. All the plants were developed in this area for our climate. Early Glow Buckeye is a seedling selection found by Michael Yanny in 1981. The original tree, at about 30 years old, is approximately 30' tall by 20' wide. Early Glow? Buckeye gets its name from its bright red fall color in mid to late September in Southern Wisconsin. It is typically the first tree to get fall color each year at Johnson's Nursery. Its form and growth rate seem to be similar to Aesculus glabra seedlings, though it does show better late season foliage quality than straight species plants. Early Glow? Buckeye produces very few seeds giving it great potential as a street tree. It seems the reason for the near seedless nature of the tree is that fewer pistils elongate enough to be easily pollinated.
