The Ohio buckeye is one of the first trees in our woods to leaf out.
lThe buds quickly open into compound leaves.
Flowers are clustered on the ends of the branches in Spring.
The fruit is a spiny pod enclosing the dark brown buckeye that appears in late summer.
Buckeyes, when first shelled have a silicone slick feel to them.
They are like nature's worry stone,
but don't eat them, they are poisonous.
The buckeye is also one of the first to drop its leaves.
Fall isn't far behind.
