Aesculus glabra, commonly known as Ohio buckeye, [2] Texas buckeye, [3] fetid buckeye, [3] and horse chestnut [3] is a species of tree in the soapberry family (Sapindaceae) native to North America. Its natural range is primarily in the Midwestern and lower Great Plains regions of the United States, extending southeast into the geological Black ...
Temperate deciduous forests are characterized by a variety of temperate deciduous tree species that vary based on region. [6] Most tree species present in temperate deciduous forests are broadleaf trees that lose their leaves in the fall, [8] though some coniferous trees such as pines (Pinus) are present in northern temperate deciduous forests. [6]
Palmately-compound, deciduous leaves usually turn orange to red in the fall. [4] The flowers are produced in panicles in spring, yellow to yellow-green, each flower 2–3 cm (0.79–1.18 in) long with the stamens shorter than the petals (unlike the related A. glabra , Ohio buckeye, in which the stamens are longer than the petals).
According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Ohio Buckeye tree is a member of the horsechesnut family and can grow up to 60 feet. These deciduous trees thrive in sunny to partially ...
The tree's range ends where the −40 °C (−40 °F) mean minimum isotherm begins, namely in southeastern Canada. A. rubrum is not present in most of the Prairie Peninsula of the northern Midwest (although it is found in Ohio), the coastal prairie in southern Louisiana and southeastern Texas and the swamp prairie of the Florida Everglades.

As noted by The Columbus Dispatch, Ohio State's helmets include stickers that have a buckeye leaf on them. Buckeye leaves are grown on buckeyes trees, which is the official tree of the state of Ohio.
The leaves are simple, feather-veined, and typically linear-lanceolate. Usually they are serrate, rounded at base, acute or acuminate. The leaf petioles are short, the stipules often very conspicuous, resembling tiny, round leaves, and sometimes remaining for half the summer. On some species, however, they are small, inconspicuous, and caducous ...
