We have these In the U.K. They are called Horse Chestnuts. They fall from the Horse Chestnut Tree. The spiky ones are edible and the smooth ones are poisonous. I picked some up today while I was out walking in my neighbourhood. They were on the ground. All spiky and lovely. The kids call them "Conkers". They push a piece of string through from the light coloured end to the bottom and tie a large knot. They battle with other players, flipping one conker around and smacking the other persons conker to see what one is the strongest It's a very dangerous game lol. I used to get my knuckles rapped big style many a time. Oh the joys of childhood. Oh the fun of not being wrapped up in cotton wool 😉

Wiki: "The Ohio buckeye is the state tree of Ohio, and its name is an original term of endearment for the pioneers on the Ohio frontier, with specific association with William Henry Harrison. Capt. Daniel Davis[4] of the Ohio Company of Associates, under Gen. Rufus Putnam, traversed the wilderness in the spring of 1788, and began the settlement of Ohio. Davis was said to be the second man ashore at Point Harmar, on April 7, 1788. He declared later that he cut the first tree felled by a settler west of the Ohio River, a "buckeye" tree. Additionally, Colonel Ebenezer Sproat, another founder of that same pioneer city of Marietta, had a tall and commanding presence; he greatly impressed the local Indians, who in admiration dubbed him "Hetuck", meaning eye of the buck deer, or Big Buckeye. Subsequently, "buckeye" came to be used as the nickname and colloquial name for people from the state of Ohio and The Ohio State University's sports teams. Ohio State adopted "Buckeyes" officially as its nickname in 1950, and it came to be applied to any student or graduate of the university. Native Americans would blanch buckeye nuts, extracting the tannic acid for use in making leather. The nuts can also be dried, turning dark as they harden with exposure to the air, and strung into necklaces similar to those made from the kukui nut in Hawaii. Buckeye candy, made to resemble the tree's nut, is made by dipping a ball of peanut butter fudge in milk chocolate, leaving a circle of the peanut butter exposed. These are a popular treat in Ohio, especially during the Christmas and college football seasons."

The name derives from the westward immigration of colonists.
