Question
This popped up a few weeks ago. We've been told it's a hickory tree. We do have some shag bark hickories on the opposite side of our house. If it is a hickory, we are going to transplant it. Thanks for your help. It seems to be growing off a big tap root.
Answer
Lisabailey, yes, it does look like a species of Carya (hickory). Small plants, such as the one you have photographed, are difficult to confidently identify from images. It may well be shagbark hickory. Best wishes.
