I’m a former Ohioan. I was talking online to some other Ohioans and they mentioned a disease which killed a large number of Buckeye trees. Any truth to this?
They probably misheard something about the chestnut blight which wiped out the American chestnut in the early 1900’s. Buckeyes and Horse chestnuts survived that plague. American cestnuts may be on the verge of a comeback.
