Bottlebrush Buckeye
Massive suckering shrub with foot-long white flower candles. Showpiece for large shade gardens.
Dangerous to cats
Toxic to cats and dogs, and to horses. The nuts are the usual culprit.
Handle with care
The seeds, leaves and bark are poisonous, and the seeds look enough like sweet chestnuts to be worth warning children about. They are not edible raw or roasted.
