Not shagbark, but the leaves look hickory like.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

If not it's pignut.they both have the same type of leaves.Can't tell much diff in the performance of shag to pignut though.They're both really good bow wood.Pig nut might have a little more heartwood in it and it's bark is a little smoother than shagbark.Lots of times both are in the same area.

My bet is pignut or bitternut hickory. The good news? Hickory is hickory! Cut it soy bean!

I'm leaning pretty hard to pignut...shaggys nuts are usually bigger than that..but who cares...hickory is hickory  ;)...is this tree in Minnesota Thad? Planted as ornamental, or native grown tree? The only hickories native to Minnesota is shagbark,and bitternut...and that ain't bitternut,or shagbark IMHO ..

You got to remember on a dry year the nuts can be smaller.

Glad someone caught that..lol  :laugh:

Yeah Ed...we've had a wet wet wet year here...shag is the most common hickory of the several hickories that grow out here....what's also deceiving and not knowing by us is how big of diameter that trunk is? You know hickory has three different bark phases from sapling to full on mature 2` plus diameter trunks...
