The leaves of the Ohio Buckeye go through many color changes. They begin as bright green turning dark green in summer and then yellow and at times orange-red in the fall. Perfectly shaped greenish-yellow flowers bloom around mid-May. This Buckeye’s dark brown fruit is highly recognizable due to its prickly outer shell. Because of this fruit, street planting of the Ohio Buckeye is limited.
