Re: Helloooo? This isn't 1970!
Date: 2005-10-24 12:06 am (UTC)Carya cordiformis--Bitternut hickory. Small fruit, and those four ridges set it apart.
Plus the bark was wrong for shagbark--smoothish, furrowed grey. I will confess that I have one small hickory that *might* be a shagbark, except that it's small and doesn't seem quite as shaggy as it should be.
This drove me crazy on Friday. Gee, I've only lived here 18 years...
