Buckeye

The buckeye is poisonous, which is why my friend gave it to me.  She was afraid her cattle would eat it.  It is hardy and grows to a small tree size over several years.  It is a member of the horse chestnut family and is supposed to attract birds and butterflies, but mine is tucked in a shady corner and I have not noticed these visitors.
