Help with Wood ID

Had this tree blow down a couple of weeks ago and started cutting it up today. I'm guessing, by the small nuts still on the tree, that it's a hickory but I've never cut any so I'm not sure. Thanks....

If that's a hickory nut, it's pig nut hickory.
Good fire wood what ever it is

Pecan perhaps? Just a hickory subspecies anyhow.

Looks like pignut to me too.

Pecan is a full species in the hickory genus Carya (illinoinensis).

Looks like pignut to me too. Any pics of a larger portion of the trunk? Pignut always resembles ash to me with big ol heartwood...

Never heard of a hickory blowing over. Unless maybe its root system suffered major injury.

They do fall occasionally..

 

[basswidow]

Yes they do. The shagbark I got this year took out 3 cars! 'hurricane took it down"

Yeah - its pignut.

Seem a little dark for pignut but I would still say PIGNUT!

 

[rshanno1]

Thanks for the responses. Got this much cut up today, still half the tree to go.

Now that last pic looks like Pignut to me. Can you get a pic of the bark and split on a medium-big piece (up the trunk a bit, but not too far?)
