Ohio Buckeye is a deciduous shade tree that thrives in part shade to full sun with consistently moist, well-drained soil. It benefits from deep watering during summer dry spells and minimal pruning to maintain its rounded canopy. All parts of this tree are toxic if ingested, so plant away from areas frequented by children or pets.
