tree id (walnut?) #479717

Asked August 20, 2018, 6:14 PM EDT

I'm trying to identify three trees on a new property and was wondering if you could help. I'll do separate emails on them for the attachments. I'd guess walnut on this one, but my iPhone app has been all over the place on it; butternut shows up sometimes, too.

Thanks,
Fritz

Expert Response

Black walnut and butternut have a compound leaf- showing me a single leaflet is unfortunately not enough. Could you please take a photo of the entire leaf showing the attachments of the leaflets, and try to get a photo of the nuts in the husk? This key has some characteristics of black walnut and hickory- butternut is not on the list, but look it over.
