Tonight I spent some time out in the woods enjoying the early fall colour changes when I ran across this bizarre tree. I believe this is called "yahoo",yes, it's an odd name for a tree but that's it's real name given. The seeds are X shaped and bright pink. Very ornamental and very poisonous! These are a rare tree for Ohio.
