Ungnadia speciosa: Mexican Buckeye: ENH-814/ST657, 2/2014

Abstract

Mexican Buckeye is a native North American deciduous tree or large shrub which reaches 20 to 30 feet in height with a spread of 20 feet. The spreading, irregular crown is composed of many small, upright branches which along with the persistent seedpods and smooth, mottled gray/brown bark helps make Mexican Buckeye an attractive feature in the winter landscape. The pinnately compound, dark green leaves turn a beautiful bright yellow color in fall before dropping. Original publication date November 1993.
