Aesculus glabra, also known as Ohio buckeye, is a tree native to North America, primarily found in the Midwestern and lower Great Plains regions of the United States. It can also be found in parts of Canada. This tree is typically found in calcareous areas and is commonly seen in streambanks, forests, and old fields. It has palmately compound leaves and produces red, yellow, or yellow-green flowers in the spring. The fruit is a round capsule containing one nut-like seed, which is inedible and poisonous to humans and cattle. However, Native Americans have been known to eat the boiled fruit after extracting tannin. The tree has little use as timber due to its soft wood, but its large fruits make it undesirable as a street tree. The Ohio buckeye is the state tree of Ohio and has become a symbol of the state, with its name being used as a term of endearment for its residents. The tree has also been featured in popular culture, such as in the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes.

Germination/Propagation Top

Suggest a correction or add new data!
Start at 4°C for 3 months, then warm to 20°C for another 3 months.
Sow seeds immediately as their viability decreases rapidly, or they best germinate when fresh. If stored, seeds might need temperature cycling and patience to germinate.
hydrophilic, germination unlikely with stored seed
