THE Ohio Buckeye
About the Ohio Buckeye :
The Ohio Buckeye tree, Aesculus glabra, derives
the name from its large brown seeds, which resemble
the eyes of the white-tailed deer. In the spring it
produces greenish yellow flowers with protruding
stamens, followed by prickly fruits. It is a
handsome tree with attractive foliage.
The Ohio Buckeye prefers shady conditions in its
youth, but grows in full sun to full shade from
youth through maturity. The Ohio buckeye is also
known as American buckeye, fetid buckeye, and
stinking buck-eye. It derives its unflattering
common names from the disagreeable odor that
emanates when the leaves are crushed.The leaves are
dark green above and paler below. This deciduous
tree is a good shade tree. |
