Yellow Buckeye (Aesculus flava)

This buckeye predates Spring Grove Cemetery’s founding in 1845 and was part of the Mill Creek floodplain plant community of Yellow Buckeye, American Elm and American Sycamore. Yellow Buckeye grows native in counties along the Ohio River going inland roughly in the unglaciated portion of Southeast Ohio. Our specimen measured a circumference of 178-inches, a height at 104 feet height and a spread of 77-feet for a total of 301-points. It can be found in Section 22.
