Aesculus glabra, commonly known as the Ohio buckeye, is a deciduous tree native to the central and eastern United States. It typically grows to a height of 20 to 30 feet and features palmate leaves with five to seven leaflets. The tree produces distinctive yellow-green flowers in spring, which attract various pollinators. The Ohio buckeye is known for its smooth, round seeds, which are often brown and shiny. These seeds are toxic if ingested, but they are an important food source for wildlife. The tree thrives in well-drained soils and is often found in forests, parks, and along riverbanks.
