In our yard a red buckeye tree is just about to open its red flower clusters. But this is a tree found in the southern states, not normally around here.

The red buckeye, although considered a small tree, still needs space to grow. And while it is an early spring bloomer, it will not be particularly noteworthy in your landscape the rest of the year.

The conservation district also offers the following varieties: Ohio Buckeye, River Birch, Redbud, Red Oak, Swamp White Oak, Red Maple, Northern White Cedar, Sycamore, Tulip Poplar and American Elm.

The nickname "Buckeyes" has roots in the 18th century, when Ohio settlers began using Ohio buckeye wood to make tools and furniture. The tree's nut was also considered a symbol of good luck.

The red buckeye tree is a native plant that grows in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 6–9. It’s not often found in retail nurseries but can be obtained at nurseries specializing in native plants.

The red buckeye tree can tolerate temperatures up to 95°F if it is located in a shady area. It grows best in areas of average humidity, as high humidity can cause fungal issues.
