The other day I walked around Whetstone Park in Columbus looking for Buckeyes. Many people don't know that the Buckeye is actually the seed of the eponymous tree. When I talk to people in New Hampshire they have no idea that the "Buckeye" that they hear about in relation to the very good football team is a real thing.
It was a nice walk around the park but I didn't find a single tree.
I did find an interesting tree that had dropped very green pods that were just smaller than a ping pong ball. At first they appeared to be solid round balls. On closer inspection they were similar to an armadillo in the way that they unfolded. The parent tree also looked coniferous so I wondered if the pods were a variant of a pine cone.
