The Ohio buckeye, scientifically known as Aesculus glabra, is a deciduous tree native to the Midwestern United States. It typically grows between 20 to 40 feet tall and features palmate leaves with five to seven leaflets. In spring, it produces attractive yellow-green flowers that bloom in large clusters, attracting various pollinators. The tree is named after its shiny, brown seeds, which resemble the eye of a deer, known as a buckeye. These seeds are toxic if ingested but are often used in crafts and jewelry. The Ohio buckeye is also the state tree of Ohio, symbolizing strength and resilience.
