Prairie Torch® Hybrid Buckeye is a hardy, medium-sized ornamental shade tree prized for its fiery fall color and impressive adaptability.
This hybrid buckeye combines the best traits of the Ohio and Yellow Buckeyes — a rounded, symmetrical form, glossy dark green foliage, and striking orange-red fall tones. In spring, upright clusters of yellow flowers appear before the leaves fully expand, adding early-season interest and attracting pollinators.
With its strong structure, moderate growth rate, and excellent cold tolerance, Prairie Torch® is well-suited for prairie climates and urban landscapes alike. Its unique foliage and brilliant autumn display make it a standout specimen or shade tree in any yard.
