Is my ohio buckeye dying or just stressed?
Nearly everything that looks fatal on a central Indiana buckeye isn't — blotch browning spreading from the interior outward, scorched leaf margins on the sun side, and bare branches by late August are annual events on a healthy tree. Genuine decline is branch-by-branch: twigs that fail to break bud at all the following May, thinning from the top down, and cankers or bleeding at the trunk.
Why ohio buckeye ends up on a quote here
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.
