Shot: Spiny, developing fruits (capsules). Photographer's note: "Ohio buckeye is rare in Georgia. Within most of the range it is medium to large forest tree. In Georgia, there is an undescribed dwarf form or subspecies that grows in four locations in the upper piedmont. It always grows on dry rocky mountains and ridges over ultramafic or meta-volcanic rocks. They rarely grow over head high and the shrubs sprawl. The fruit is spiny and the twigs stink."
