Wood Identification

[NormP]

I'm not good with all the different species of tree beyond what I normally use for firewood. Can someone identify this tree for me?

Pignut hickory, methinks.

I agree with Unc, definitely hickory, pignut by the looks of the bark.

100% sure it is hickory. 90% sure it is the bitternut variety. I burn a lot of it here.

OK. I briefly thought hickory, especially with the nut; but every time I make a guess at something that isn't beech, locust, oak, or ash (the woods I burn 99% of the time), I'm usually wrong.

Pignut. That is too big a nut for bitternut....which is sometimes called pig hickory. Different that pignut hickory.

I thought the nuts looked a bit bigger than the bitternut I have around me. I don't have pignut here so that is why I was only 90% sure, but completely confident in was hickory. I yeild to your greater hickory knowledge.

I have many Bitternut Hickory on the property and they look exactly that size nuts if not bigger sometimes.

Looks like my Bitternut Hickory I have here.
It's definitely a Hickory tree.

The thing to do now to get the subspecies, is to look close at the leaf and it will tell the story.
