Question
Thank you for your response. I'm sorry I did not provide the location - I've seen this tree throughout New England. The specific location of this photo is from Rhode Island in an upland location. Thank you again. Karen
Answer
Karen, great--thank you for getting back to me. That helps immensely. It is certainly a hickory, and would be either Carya glabra (pignut hickory) or Carya ovata (shagbark hickory). I would need to have a close, clear photograph of the leaf margin in order to separate the two on a young individual. Hopefully narrowing it down to these two species is still helpful. Best wishes.
