Many seem to confuse this tree with regular buckeye, which are poisonous. So pay attention to the scientific name. I planted one in a bed of asiatic jasimine..so that just in case the seeds disappear into the ground cover and dont entice any dogs or kids.

Ours is sort of tucked away on a hillside behind and under other small trees and shrubs so perhaps I simply missed the color because it is not obvious from the route I take to and from our house. I do love the seedpods - they are so distinctive. I've used them in several dried arrangements. I'm newly resolved to pay extra attention this fall and next spring. I want to catch this little wonder in action myself now!

My Sunset guide lists the plant but unfortunately indicates that it won't work in my zone. It must need some winter chill it can't get here.
