Perfect for smaller yards, our Lavaburst™ Ohio Buckeye Tree delivers breathtaking fall color, remarkable resilience, and refined structure. Bred for performance, it marries the hardy charm of the prairie and the stately elegance of a landscape centerpiece.

Compact Form, Big Impact: This narrow, upright tree fits beautifully into smaller landscapes. Maturing at about 25–30 feet tall and 15–20 feet wide, it's ideal for tight garden spaces, streetside plantings, or accent borders. Despite its compact size, Lavaburst™ provides the commanding presence of a mature buckeye—without overwhelming nearby plants.

Brilliant, Long-Lasting Foliage: Enjoy a dramatic show each autumn as foliage ignites in glowing shades of orange and scarlet red. Unlike typical buckeyes, Lavaburst™ resists unsightly leaf scorch, staying lush and vibrant through late summer before transitioning into its fiery finale.

Strong, Hardy, and Low Maintenance: Bred by North Dakota State University, this improved cultivar thrives even in cold northern climates—hardy to Zone 3b. It tolerates urban conditions, resists drought once established, and needs minimal pruning. With its dependable growth and showy seasonal color, Lavaburst™ adds long-term value and beauty with very little effort.
