The Ohio Buckeye is an excellent shade tree for Wyoming. It is certainly not new to the trade but it has shown remarkable adaptability to Wyoming conditions and will soon be a Plant Select addition!  As tall as it is wide, this charmer has dense dark green leaves which migrate to yellow and brilliant reds in autumn.  Large greenish yellow flowers in spring are followed by prickly seed pods.  Adapted to alkaline soils including clay! (The seeds are poisonous to people but not squirrels, they are too hard to chew on and too large to swallow)
