Ohio Buckeye: A Toxic BeautyAdded:
The Ohio Buckeye.
Ohio's state tree.
It's used as an ornamental.
And my neighbor, Earl, he hates this tree.
Because in the fall, it drops all these nuts.
Uh and he has to go out and pick them up all the time. We also call it the horse chestnut. It actually is supposedly toxic to honey bees. And it's actually toxic the nuts are very poisonous. And what uh when Mr. Google tells us is that all the parts of the tree are actually harmful to most animals. Some deer will eat the nuts and uh squirrels will eat the nuts.
But in general, the the nuts are very toxic. And people I've had many people come and say, "Oh, I can pick up these chestnuts and eat them." And they're very poisonous, so you cannot eat
