Cistus Nursery
Aesculus wangii
Aesculus wangii
This very rare and beautiful buckeye collected by our own Dan Hinkley in Northern Vietnam is arguably the most attractive of the genus. To 30 ft or more eventually (records show much taller in time) with silvery bark and palmate leaves emerging burgundy and red, aging to deep green. White flowers late spring to early summer. This threatened tree in the wild is now available as the first trees brought into cultivation in North America are beginning to fruit. A delicate addition to the garden, casting only light shade, loves a bit of summer water and benefits from lush underplantings. Excellent for some tropical effect. Has proven hardy in zone 7.

Prior to shipping, we remove plants from their pots, and with roots intact, safely bag and wrap each plant. Depending on the plant, we do make exceptions to this rule.

Planting Recommendations
Planting Recommendations
Under most conditions, planting directly into the garden is best. Keep in mind, that in our care, plants have been protected from intense sunlight and drying winds and would therefore require sheltered transition time in order to acclimate to such conditions in your garden.
All plants going into containers (rather than in the ground) should be potted immediately in well-drained potting mix and watered well to ensure the soil is fully moistened with no air pockets. Succulent plants abide by different rules (**see below).
Plants held for later planting are best stored in a cool greenhouse or a well-lit garage or basement, rather than in your house where conditions are likely too warm and dry.
Those plants needing time to acclimate can be set out in pots and provided some shade and shelter for the first week to allow for a successful transition.
**For cacti and other succulents, we recommend using a soil mix of less than 30% organic matter, preferably a 2-1 blend of cactus/succulent potting soil and pumice, perlite or lava rock. These plants are sensitive to prolonged heavy moisture, especially in cool/winter conditions. Keep this in mind when watering them for the first time. It is better to leave them dry in lower temperatures.
