You misidentified Red Buckeye, Aesculus Pavia as Aesculus parviflora , Bottlebrush Buckeye, which blooms white and is actually a very broad colonizing shrub that eventually after maybe 15 years can get 10’ tall. I’ve had mine for over 5 years in part shade and it’s only 3’-4’ tall. It’s Hardy as far as Chicago The video footage you were showing is Red Buckeye, Aesculus Pavia. It is a native Southern tree that will get around 20’ tall. GroWild in Fairview, Tennessee is the only nursery I know of South of Nashville that grows and sells both Native plants. That’s where I purchased mine.
I was thinking the same thing but doubted myself. Thanks for verifying my initial thoughts. We have a native nursery north of Louisville that carries these. They are spectacular for sure.
Wonderful video. I love it. We have many Black Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) shrubs here. The bees are indeed all over the beautiful blossoms. I made a tincture last year with the berries. Very medicinal as an antioxidant and antiviral.

Thanks for the catch on the 'pavia' rather than parviflora.
Some of the popular trees for bees here in OK are locust and redbud
I needed this information. Thank you.
Now I want all those trees!

This is awesome. Just remember two big willow trees is as good as 2 acres of clover.
I wish he would have identified which zones they can thrive in.

They gave dwarf Aronia shrubs now. Doubtful people would want a 12 ft shrub.
