Is it just me, or do buckeye trees smell um, er, "funny" this time of year?

[NuclearNed]

These things have a REALLY strong smell. It started sometime last week and will probably continue for a week or more until they are finished blooming. My wife and I even have a name we call them that is something other than "buckeye". Do you know what I mean <nudge, nudge, wink, wink>???

You know, you're driving through your neighborhood when it hits you - a scent similar to what I can only imagine a porno set smells like. Those are buckeye trees.

Sounds similar to the ginko trees this time of year. :Q

I've never seen or smelled one, but i assumed that beavers use these trees when they build their little dams?

Are you talking about "sperm" trees? I thought they're dogwoods... white flowers right?

I carry a buckeye in my briefcase. Have had it for 20 years. Don't know why, don't think it's lucky or anything like that.

Oh yeah, my parents have one of these at their clinic. Never noticed the odor before though...

There is a tree across the street from my parents house, that must be what it is because sometime during the year it has a very strong smell of semen. Almost overbearing.

A lot of trees make that musty smell. Some of the ornamental pears, a couple of Viburnums. The horse chestnut does reek (buckeye).

They are NASTY! I thought they were the dogwoods as well. We used to have a tree in front of our house that smelled terrible.

We planted an ornamental pear in our front yard. It smells bad for about a week in the spring. We've also got lots of dogwoods in the area and they smell too.
