The tree species Aesculus glabra is commonly known as Ohio buckeye, American buckeye, or fetid buckeye. Glabra is one of 13–19 species of Aesculus also called horse chestnuts.
It is native primarily to the Midwestern and lower Great Plains regions of the United States, extending southeast into the Nashville Basin. It is also found locally in the extreme southwest of Ontario, on Walpole Island in Lake St. Clair, and in isolated but large populations in the South (Adams County, Mississippi). It is a medium-sized deciduous tree growing to 15 to 25 metres (49 to 82 ft) tall.
The leaves are palmately compound with five (rarely seven) leaflets, 8–16 cm (3.1–6.3 in) long and broad. The flowers are produced in panicles in spring, yellow to yellow-green, each flower 2–3 cm (0.79–1.18 in) long with the stamens longer than the petals (unlike the related yellow buckeye, where the stamens are shorter than the petals). The fruit is a round or oblong spiny capsule 4–5 cm (1.6–2.0 in) diameter, containing 1 to 3 nut-like seeds, 2–3 cm (0.79–1.18 in) in diameter, brown with a whitish basal scar.
Cedrus atlantica, the Atlas cedar, is a cedar native to the Atlas Mountains of Morocco (Middle Atlas, High Atlas), and the Rif. And to the Tell Atlas in Algeria. A majority of the modern sources treat it as a distinct species Cedrus atlantica, but some sources consider it a subspecies of Lebanon cedar (C. libani subsp. atlantica).
Fully grown, Atlas cedar is a large coniferous evergreen tree, 30–35 m (rarely 40m) tall, with a trunk diameter of 1.5–2 m.It is very similar in all characters to the other varieties of Lebanon cedar; differences are hard to discern. The mean cone size tends to be somewhat smaller (although recorded to 12 cm, only rarely over 9 cm long, compared to up to 10 cm in C. brevifolia, and 12 cm in C. libani, though with considerable overlap (all can be as short as 6 cm). The Cedrus atlantica leaf length (10–25 mm) is similar that of C. libani subsp. stenocoma, on average longer than C. brevifolia and shorter than C. libani subsp. libani, but again with considerable overlap.
brief video covering the name and key ID features for Aesculus glabra
After stratifying 15 nuts from an ohio buckeye tree for 4 months in moist peat moss with a bit of fungicide to prevent mold, they are finally germinating! 12 of the 15 nuts have germinated so far, and i only showed the ones that are doing best (so far) in this video. I totally recommend people try this, especially if you want to grow your own tree from a seed, or want to demonstrate how trees reproduce... If you're interested in growing your own, you can leave a comment on this video, and I will probably respond relatively quickly, as I check my YouTube comments several times a day...

It's our state nickname, our state tree and it's the Ohio State University mascot. But what do we really know about this tree, also known as aesculus glabra.
The Buckeye Trail's Texas Buckeyes Aesculus glabra var. arguta in full bloom. Spring 2013 in Dallas, Texas along the Trinity River in the Great Trinity Forest. The Mournful Thyris Moth is the species of black/white colored moth in the clip. One of the largest native flowering trees in Texas, the Texas Buckeye Tree Aesculus glabra var. arguta makes for one of the earliest and best shows of color in the state. The Great Trinity Forest holds prime examples of these species, many in a special grove inside William Blair Park aka Rochester Park. Usually a small shrub or small tree, The Texas buckeye reaches its largest size (more than 40 feet) in the hard limestone of the central Edwards Plateau, although it also occurs in the Blackland Prairie, Cross Timbers, Pineywoods, and Post Oak Savanna...
