Aesculus californica is a California-native large shrub/small tree featuring silvery bark and fragrant white-to-pink spring flowers appearing late spring to early summer. It goes dormant early, typically starting in mid-to-late summer, making it one of the first trees to drop its leaves. It thrives in sunny, dry slopes and tolerates clay, loam, sandy, and rocky soils. Highly drought-resistant. Prefers full sun but tolerates partial shade. Often used in natural, native landscapes and park plantings. Decurrent habit. Monoecious (both sexes on one plant). Deer and rabbit-resistant. Fire-resistant. Cold hardy to 15°F.
