Bill,
Well, Ohio *is* the 'Buckeye State' - when I grew up in Ohio, they were
called buckeye trees by everyone, it was only later that I learned they
were also horse chestnut trees.

Interesting... Never heard a horse chestnut called a "buckeye" before.
(Never mind a "conker"!) Where do they call them buckeyes?
I'm originally from upstate NY, where horse chestnut trees seemed to be
everywhere you looked. I think we had four or five of them just on our
one-block-long street. Collecting huge bags of horse chestnuts was an
autumn ritual.
