Is this a hickory tree? The leaves are just popping, so they are small and hard to see. I hunt morel mushrooms in this woods, but I did not think there were many--if any--hickory trees...if that is what this is. Thanks.

Shagbark hickory

Cool! That is what I thought. Thanks.

Looks like shagbark hickory but I'd wait until the leaves come out to be sure. Shagbark , like all hickories have pinnately compound leaves. You can also be assured the bark will peel off easily if you wait a few weeks, once the leaves are out.

That's Hop Hornbeam, no doubt about it.

Scott we hickory galore around us, probably third only to oaks and maples.

I know where some are, but I just have never seen any in the woods I mentioned before.

Not a good specimen though. See that spiral in the pattern? Not good for HHB.

Right. I see what you are saying. Not to get off topic, but I whacked trout on the South yesterday after hunting mushrooms. Man, a caught a ton on dries.

Yes. That is usually how it works!

Are you sure that's not a Mongolian Tulip?

I concur with pearly once I've had a second look.
