The Ohio Buckeye is known for its attractive, palmately compound leaves comprised of five leaflets, which turn a brilliant yellow-orange in the fall. In spring, it produces showy clusters of greenish-yellow flowers that are a magnet for pollinators. These flowers give way to spiky fruits, each containing one or two shiny brown seeds known as \"buckeyes”. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0d0d0d; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0d0d0d; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;\"\u003e Ohio Buckeyes typically grow to be 20 to 50 feet tall with a spread of 20 to 40 feet.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0d0d0d; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0d0d0d; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;\"\u003e Plant in full sun to partial shade for optimal growth and flowering.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0d0d0d; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;\"\u003eSoil:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0d0d0d; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;\"\u003e Prefers moist, well-drained soils but can tolerate a range of soil types.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0d0d0d; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;\"\u003eWatering:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #0d0d0d; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA;\"\u003e Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first few years of growth.
