This is a Buckeye tree. If you ever want one, you can grow them from Buckeyes that come off of them in the fall. If oy ever want any buckeyes, let me know, I have tons!!!

Unfortunately, I can't blush! I am an Ohioan through and through no matter where I am living, and every other tree on the ground is a buckeye. But you know, I don't remember EVER seeing them look like that! WOW. As the cartoon guy use to say---ya got me there, wee willie :-D And Thanks!!!

Thanks everyone for looking. Yes, definitely a Buckeye tree. They say it's good luck to carry a buckeye in your pocket and my hubby carries one for himself and has two or three in his pocket at all times in case anyone wants one. This tree must produce about a thousand of them each year.

They are from a different type of buckeye tree...you will be shocked at how tiny these are compaired to Ohio buckeyes! You should send her some of yours...she'll have buckeye envy!!!! However...her trees are a lot prettier in the spring! 8-)

It could be Aesculus X carnea, Red Horsechestnut. There are several varieties. 'Brioti' and 'O'Neil Red' are two.

However, I think it's Aesculus pavia, aka Red Buckeye, native to the eastern U.S.

Oh I WILL!! I am so curious if the buckeyes you send will look like the buckeyes I grew up with and know. That tree of yours is really gorgious! Now I'm trying to figure out how to send Patty a copy of those lovely tree pics you have sent me.I'm hoping my scanner/copier/printer will behave right because I also have some very old pics that have been considerably damaged that I want to try and find out if anybody on our forum has a clue to whether or not any repair is possible. gotta send the pics first. I am SO technically dumb. It's not because I'm Deaf--it's because I am pretty much a mountain hillbilly and don't have much of a clue about this stuff. I AM trying to learn!!!

Yes, this is the Red Buckeye and had hundreds maybe a thousand or more buckeyes on it every year.

Yes, my Buckeyes may be smaller than yours. They fall on the ground in the fall and in the spring we have a bunch of little tress to come up all around the main tree. We pot some of them and give them to people who want them, but getting them to come out and get them is a different story. Most want them delivered and planted!.
If you want to send the pictures to someone, RIGHT CLICK EACH ONE and click on SAVE AS...That will save them to your "Pictures" folder. Then just e-mail them to them. If you have trouble with it, message me and I''l send you a quick "how to".
