Ohio Buckeye
Aesculus glabra is a majestic ornamental tree commonly known as the Ohio Buckeye. It is prized for its spring bloom of large cream to yellow spikes that attract bees and other pollinators, as well as for its lush green foliage that creates a generous, shady canopy in parks, large gardens, or avenues. In summer, it develops spiny fruits containing decorative horse chestnuts, while in autumn, its foliage turns beautiful warm colors before falling. Hardy and robust, this tree thrives in full sun to partial shade and in moist, fertile, well-drained soil, offering a lasting architectural presence and an excellent option for structural plantings.
