Can anyone ID this? Large one fell on my property

Forgot photo

Do any of these pictures look familiar? (broken link removed)

Maybe green ash. Thanks. I was thinking ash species but the white ash species I have seen pictures of were more rounded. Bark certainly looks like an ash species. Thanks.

Mockernut.

Like most hickory, the end leaflet on mockernut is larger than the side leaflets. That is not the case with the OP's picture. It is what pushed me to look up ash instead of hickory.

I have an app called Leafsnap and the picture of green ash leaf on there does not match the photo on the link you gave me for green ash Oldman. Same shape but rounded leaves. Hoping your photo is correct!

 

[Oldman47]

I got those pictures the easy way with a Google search. I wanted 2 things, clear pictures and a source I could trust. With that link I had both. It is from a university so it is likely correct and the pictures are clear.

Another detail is that their appeared to be a small green 1" diameter light green peach shaped nut on some branches. Bark looks similar to ash and brown heart shaped inner circle on rounds I believe similar to other ash I have seen. Also wood is dense.

Good. The app is from Columbia university but got only 1 of 5 stars in reviews. I trust your link more.

Hickory and ash are both quite dense but there are no nuts on ash. Instead they get what are called samaras for seed.Maybe we need to look at mockernut again.

The leaf, nut, and bark all suggest Pignut or a similar Hickory. There are several hickories like Pignut, Mockernut, and a couple of others that are similar in appearance, and the wood is basically the same.

Looks like green ash or black ash

 

[Mag Craft]

The edge of the leaf has a jagged edge to it. Looks like green or white ash to me. If you pull a leaf back at one of the buds and it has a crescent shape to it then it could be white ash.

The original pic looks like an ash leaf to me, although I'm not very experienced with them

 

[KenLockett]

Looks like mockernut hickory to me.

Wood and bark

 

[paul bunion]

You should also be able to id hickory blindfolded by the feel of the bark alone. It has a sharp hardness that is pretty unique.

Im going with that basic rule of tree ID, that Ash has opposite branching. The leaf really looks like Black Ash to me, narrow leaflets and dark green but the branching is slightly alternate, as with hickory.

This pic is Green Ash

 

[Applesister]

It could be Bitternut, the bark could be a match.

 

[KenLockett]

Split it today and based upon smell is certainly hickory.

Another vote for hickory, especially if there 1" nuts on the tree.

Ash does not have nuts........LOL
