Title: Tree ID, please???
Post by: CrazyHorse1969 on May 15, 2015, 09:50:33 am
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.

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.

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.

Are you sure that's not a Mongolian Tulip?
