It was a small tree but there are lots of them to be cut...

That would be great if it was hickory! I didn't know hickory leaves looked like that.

I am 99,9% sure it is young Hickory...the following pics are all from mature Hickory trees....this is just a small sampling of Hickory leaves..

+1 hickory, but i couldn't tell you which kind

Hickory leaves look kind of like Black Cherry leaves. The bark is very different.

Pignut Hickory. I have a few on the property. I'd leave them to grow if you can.

Dang that bark is identical to mine. Thanks to this thread confirming it was Hickory, I knew enough to jump on it today when the power company dropped a huge one on the side of the road.

I got one big load today and hopefully the rest will still be there for a couple days. The main trunk is humungous.
