Overview
Ohio buckeye is one of the first trees to leaf out in spring and one of the first to color in fall. It grows at a medium pace into a tidy, round headed shade tree.
Origin & History
Native to the Midwest and widely planted on northern plains farmsteads, where it has proven hardier than its home range suggests.
Uses
Shade on decent soil with some moisture. The big glossy nuts, leaves and sprouts are poisonous to people and livestock, so keep it out of pastures and corrals.
Growth Habit
Rounded tree, 20 to 40 ft tall, with hand shaped leaves.
Spacing
Plant 12 to 18 ft apart. A bundle of 25 covers 300 to 450 ft of row.
Pollination
Bee-pollinated, with greenish yellow flower spikes in May.
Cold hardiness
We rate Ohio buckeye to zone 3, winters to -40°F.
How wholesale orders work
- Bundles can't be split. Sizes under 3 ft. come 25 to a bundle, 3 ft. and taller come 20 to a bundle.
- Price breaks count every Farm & Ranch bundle in your cart, any mix of plants. 4 bundles, 12 bundles and 24 bundles each drop the price on all of them. The discount shows up in your cart on its own.
- Add to your order any time before it ships. Same shipping address, and the bundles count together toward the next price break.
- No cancellations after February 1. Cancel part of an order before then and the rest is priced at the break it still earns.
- If we come up short on a plant, you keep the price break you paid for and we refund the bundles we couldn't send.
- Our dead plant guarantee covers these the same as everything else we sell. A plant that never leafs out its first season gets a credit code for what you paid for it plus its share of the shipping. We can't break a bundle, so credit goes toward a future order, not loose replacement plants.
