Aesculus pavia, commonly known as red buckeye or firecracker plant, is a deciduous tree native to the southeastern United States. It typically grows to a height of 10-20 feet and spreads 10-15 feet wide.

The tree has an upright, multi-stemmed growth habit with a dense crown of dark green, palmate leaves. In spring, it produces showy, bright red or orange-red flowers that are arranged in a pyramidal panicle, which attract hummingbirds and butterflies.

In the fall, the tree produces a fruit that resembles a large, shiny brown chestnut with a prickly husk. The fruit is not edible and can be messy when it falls to the ground.

Aesculus pavia thrives in full to partial sun and moist, well-drained soil. It is tolerant of heat and humidity, making it an excellent choice for gardens in the southeastern United States. The tree is also relatively disease-resistant and easy to care for.

Overall, Aesculus pavia is a striking ornamental tree that adds color and interest to the landscape with its beautiful flowers and leaves.
