Question
I think these are ash seeds. Can species be determined? They were scattered widely on a windy day (November 8, 2022) and it was not obvious which trees they fell from.
Answer
Dear jfc, yes, they are fruits (a samara) of the genus Fraxinus (ash). They look like Fraxinus americana (white ash) to me, given the wing of the fruit extends only a short distance down the body of the achene. Best wishes.
