Is an ohio buckeye common in central Indiana?
Native and genuinely common through the southern two-thirds of Indiana, most at home along river bottoms and streambanks — which is exactly why it struggles on stripped, dry subdivision lots. It is Ohio's state tree and gets planted here occasionally for that reason, but far more often it's a volunteer that came with the property.
Why that matters for tree work
Ohio buckeye is the first tree in central Indiana to leaf out in spring and the first to look dead — by August most of them here are brown and half-defoliated from leaf blotch and marginal scorch. That cosmetic collapse, not risk, is what puts buckeye on a removal quote; structurally the tree is usually fine underneath.
