    bearded asil hen 038.jpg I know my trees pretty good. This tree shown looks like an ash but is not like the 4 ashes I just took. Hope the pictures are big enough to detect

    Not ash for sure. Bark looks a bit like black walnut but I'm not sure, I can't make much out of the piucture of the leaves.

    Always remember the acronym "MAD HORSE." MAD HORSE = Maple, Ash, Dogwood and Horse chestnut.These are the only trees with opposite branches and opposite leaves. But you knew that, didn't you.;lol

    Turns out he cut the tree down and posted in another thread. Looks like elm when you look at the other post......

    you had better re-read that post. He cut down the tree that was 90% dead not this tree. The other tree was most definately a red elm. This tree in this post is most likely a HICKORY the leaves are too wide for Walnut and the bark is not quite right for Walnut either. So I will put my two cents in and say Hickory.

    I posted two trees in different threads which got confusing. The one tree that was 90% dead is in the other thread has been identified as a species of elm. Hoping it is red elm so it splits easy. I am going to try that today. In this thread, I too believe the tree to be a walnut. I looked around and have a couple other ones near that area. I never knew I had walnuts in my woods.........
