Tree identification
« on: May 15, 2014, 10:03:48 am »
I have been practicing identifying different types of trees.  This one is in my backyard and was gonna see if this board could help.  I am located in Arkansas and am posting the pictures.  Thanks!

I'm thinking hickory or pecan.  What kind of nut does it produce? They should still be on the ground if you haven't picked them up.

Cut a small 3" dia branch or so...if it has dark heartwood its black walnut...pat might be onto something,but the bark seems a lil off for pecan/hickory...but bark in pics and even in person can be vary misleading and deceiving,and not a very good indicator all the time...wish I could see it all in person,cus that's the easiest way to id it for me ..and yeah..any old nuts or hulls laying around?

Black walnut, pecan and the other hickories are in the Juglandaceae family so they have similar compound leaves and flower tassels. A bit more info would help. Black walnut has a very dark heartwood.

It's black walnut, coming from the neighbor to your north.

I'm guessing butternut. Leaflets too wide for black walnut.

Black walnut also has quite a sizeable pith that is segmented in the small twigs and branches, maybe check that.  I'm not sure if hickory or pecan or butternut have that characteristic though.

It doesn't have the seeds that look like ash.  It might be black walnut, I will have to look for the nuts and see.  It is compounded by the fact that I have a live oak in my yard as well that drops a ton.  I am from the Little Rock area.  I am not going to use it as I currently have to hickory staves and 4 ERC staves drying in the shed.  I am just trying to learn my trees better.  I will have to post more pictures of other trees to keep learning.  I like this.
