About Ohio
Stately, dense tree with showy 6” yellow-green flower clusters in April and May, followed by tan husks. Each husk contains one or two buckeyes: shiny reddish brown 1” globes with a tan eye.
About Buckeye
Called “buckeye” because they resemble the eye of a buck deer. The leaves have five shiny 6” leaflets emerging from a central stalk, turning yellow and red in fall. Flowers pollinated by bees and ruby-throated hummingbirds. Also known as fetid buckeye because the leaves and twigs emit a skunk-like smell when crushed. Northern Wisconsin seed source.
