Fragrant, tower-like chartreuse flowers appear midspring and eventually lead to the glossy brown fruit that most are familiar with. Ohio buckeyes do best in moist, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Trees benefit from a thick layer of mulch as leaves can scorch during summer months in dry conditions. They can be sensitive to transplanting due to their taproot system. **Photo courtesy of Kuenzi Turf & Nursery** Show more
