Aesculus glabra, or Ohio buckeye, is native to Ontario and ranges throughout the western and lower Great Plains regions of the United States, extending southeast into the Black Belt of Alabama and Mississippi, with a small, isolated population in southwestern Ontario. It prefers well-drained, non-droughty soil, and can tolerate higher pH levels. Ohio buckeye can be commonly found in the nursery industry. They are well suited for remote landscapes such as parks, open spaces, or woodland areas but can be difficult to transplant due to the presence of a taproot. Ohio Buckeye is messy, producing spiky seeds and leaf litter and is not recommended to be planted along streets or residential areas as the nuts are poisonous, and when the tree is bruised can emit an unpleasant odour.
