Ohio Buckeye tree (Aesculus glabra) is a medium to small size ornamental tree, which belongs to Horsechestnut family (Hippocastanaceae). Flowers are creamy to greenish yellow, and it is one of the first trees to leaf out and flower in the spring. Its large greenish-yellow flowers are attractive to hummingbirds. The seeds are large, shiny and have dark chestnut-brown color with a pale scar. The common name refers to its abundance in Ohio and the supposed likeness of the nut to the eye of a buck. Seeds are sometimes carried in the pocket for good luck and supposedly to prevent rheumatism. If nut, bark, and leaves digested, they are highly toxic. Tree can tolerate shade. Height at maturity is 30-50 ft.
