transplant ,I would be interested in following up on this but your link did not

Ohio Buckeye, Aesculus glabra, Tree to be used on Public Property and if so how?
Fruit toxicity issue<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>A concern was brought my attention
respecting the use of this non-native tree as a street tree. Attached is
the link associated with the information presented.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>1) Is this tree currently part of your inventory and if
so, have you had to address the issue and how?</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>2) If using this species, have any of the Nurseries you
purchased from advised you of this fruit toxicity issue?</FONT>
<BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Our situation is we have recently
introduced this tree in our pallette of street trees and now need some further
research on how to reasonably address the issue. </FONT> <BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>Please advise on this matter as it may have implications
beyond the purchase and planting of the trees, as it could affect Growers
and Nurseries.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Regards,<BR>Peter
