Ohio Buckeye

Ohio Buckeye (Aesculus glabra) is a deciduous tree renowned for its striking palmate leaves and unique brown seeds. In spring, clusters of greenish-yellow flowers emerge, creating a visual spectacle. Come autumn, its foliage turns a brilliant shade of orange-red, making it a seasonal favorite. Adaptable and hardy, the Ohio Buckeye is perfect for those looking to add a touch of native beauty to their landscapes. Its seeds, resembling deer eyes, have given it a special place in folklore.
