Ok - here are some pics. I warn you they are from my camera phone as I was walking along and have seen this tree many times and I can't wait to get an ideantity on it. The nut casing is a bit more orangish/brown than they appear. The dots seem to be very short bristles. There were crushed nuts/casings all around the base of the tree - probably by squuirrels up in the tree. Good luck and I'll be excited to find out what this tree is as its the only one around the area I can find. Thanks!
