This is a subject I really enjoy sharing. Thirty years ago I planted this tree in my front yard which is an Ohio Buckeye Tree. I choose it because of the following reasons:
1 The Ohio Buckeye is the symbol of The Ohio State University.
2 I have always love these type of trees.
3 My neighbor, when I was a child, had a similar tree. That was a Horse Chestnut that we had a lot of fun climbing and using the nuts for stringing three and throwing as a bolo.
4 My tree is very prolific and it nuts produce baby trees every year.
5 It is a slow growing tree that makes a beautiful show every year.

That's a whopper and no mistake. I bet you're ages sweeping up the leaves in autumn.
I've seen a buckeye once (didn't know what it was until Daddy told me)...and now I see the tree.
Beautiful photos...and I love the bees pollinating it.
Gorgeous photos!
Hi Tom, I love trees and yours is a real beauty. I'm at this very moment writing a magazine article (more like a story) for a publication back in South Africa. My story concentrates on the fact that we're chopping down our trees, especially the indigenous and slow-growing thorn trees fasting than they can be replanted. The Africans here in East Africa make charcoal for a living so it's delicate situation. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful tree. Greetings from Jo, Tanzania
I love this tree. We have several in my home town and the gorgeous colour in fall is amazing.
OH Tom, it is so nice to catch up to you... How are you?? The tree is most majestic, to say the least... and the bumble bee... what a beautiful photo... you are amazing... I hope you are well, my good friend... please take care..
(((Hugs))))
