<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Hi all, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Just have to weigh in on this:
Jean Lauriault writes in his <b>Identification Guide to the Trees of Canada (
1989) : “</b>Ohio Buckeye (<i>Aesculus glabra) </i>is probably also
indigenous to southern Ontario. In fact, a population of large trees was
confirmed on Walpole Island in 1982 (S.J. Darbyshire and K.M. Oldman 1985) He
goes on to say that despite the nuts being eaten occasionally by squirrels,
they are poisonous, as are all the members of the <i>Aesculus</i> genus.
Stephen Donaldson, in his <b>Natural History of the Trees of Eastern North
America (1950), </b>wrote that First nations would sometimes used the ground
nuts to throw into the water and stun fish, so they could be scooped up for
dinner. Another text somewhere mentioned if the seeds are boiled three times,
throwing the water each time, they can be eaten safely. ( who’s going to
try this one first?)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Ohio Buckeye once grew all over
North America, as the pollen is found peat bogs of Alberta, indicating it was
here prior to 17,000 years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>The tree is perfectly hardy here
in Alberta, even in Banff.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

too many, though!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
