I feel that being from Ohio originally i should try my hand at the Ohio State tree which would be the Aesculus Galbra



anyone ever try to do one, does it still produce the same buckeye nut that it would? can you do cuttlings or need to be by seeds or collected?

just in the planning stages now but i think would be pretty cool

i say try it .you may need nursery stock for this one tho.the leaves look quite big and may be hard to reduce so you would need a bigger tree.ive seen american chestnut done with success it was a 3 foot tree but the leaf sets are bigger than your hand

I'm not sure about this tree, but on common chestnuts leaf size can be easily reduced. Plus, when you have a good ramification, the leaves actually look like multiple smaller leaves.

Ohio native here too. I'd love to see the photos when you start.

Just a quick search on google yielded a couple pictures of a california buckeye though I don't know how different they are.



ctrl+f and search for buckeye to quickly find it.
