Ohio Buckeye







The flowers, which are tubular attract ruby-throated humming birds.

There is a possibility that this is a Sweet Buckeye and not an Ohio. I am going back to recheck this tree tomorrow to see the difference between the end buds. Sweet has smooth end buds while Ohio has ridged. Sweet Buckeye is not supposed to grow in Missouri.


I checked the end bud and it is stiff making it an Ohio Buckeye.
