Ash?? and ???
« on: July 04, 2016, 12:08:45 pm »
First picture is ash i believe...the second im not sure.  Couldnt get a great picture of the leaves but they are larger single lobed leaves....similar in shape to the ash.  Is it a type of hickory?  I didnt cut the second.....yet!

Yes. Some of our bitternut looks about like that. Where are you located?

The second picture looks like the trunk of a young shagbark hickory.

Our older bitternut can start looking like that and young shagbark that I am familiar with often looks a bit shaggier as a small tree.
  How large is this tree in diameter?

  There is quite a bit of variation in how bark characteristics develop.

Did the bark come off in the round? It would make a nice quiver if it did.
