  • Question

    Yes this large shrub/young tree is growing in a young hardwoods on a slight slope off the end of a field. It is located in western NY. If you need more information please ask and a bunch of us here are dying to know what it is, since we have checked numerous resources to no avail. Thank You Dave

    Answer

    Dear Dave, you have photographed a species of Carya (hickory), a native tree in the walnut family. I can't tell you which species without additional and up-close photographs of various parts of this plant. Perhaps knowing the genus is enough to get you started on your study.
