The Mystic Ruby™ Buckeye (Aesculus x bushii 'Aaron 1' PP29,092) is a unique native hybrid tree that offers a mix of ornamental beauty and ecological benefits. This medium-sized deciduous tree grows 25–30 feet tall with a spread of 20–25 feet, making it ideal for home landscapes and larger gardens. In spring, Mystic Ruby™ produces vibrant pink-red flowers arranged in upright panicles that are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

The tree's coarse-textured foliage is dark green and creates a striking contrast with the bright flower clusters. Unlike some other buckeyes, Mystic Ruby™ shows excellent resistance to leaf blotch and leaf scorch, maintaining its attractive appearance throughout the growing season. It also produces small, smooth, edible nuts, adding wildlife interest in late summer.

Mystic Ruby™ Buckeye thrives in full sun to part shade and is adaptable to a variety of soil types. Its size, ornamental flowers, and resistance to common foliar diseases make it a low-maintenance option for both urban and rural settings. Cold-hardy in Zone 4, this tree is perfect for those looking for an attractive, pollinator-friendly addition to their landscape.
