Hi all

not sure what this tree is, may be tree of heaven ?

[SKStrees]

Don't think it ailanthus possibly black walnut?

[Macca]

Cut a twig is its hollow and pithy inside its walnut!

[tree79]

A man said American walnut but not sure, not come across it befor

the leaves don't look quiet right for tree of heaven but I haven't seen one for a few years so not sure

[Andrew Gale]

Doesn't look like Tree of Heaven, the base of the leaf should have a 'notch' type lobe (can't think of a better way of explaining it); I'd say it's a Walnut of some description as SKS suggests.

 

I was taught a useful tip to ID walnuts below the leaf petiole attachment point there should be what looks like a monkey face and in photo 3 there does appear to be such a face.

 

Macca's comment about the chambered pith is also a dead give away.

i was thinking walnut and scrolling down to see others thinking the same is reassuring that it probably is walnut.

[Mountain man]

Looks like a walnut with very fresh green just formed leaves.

Another one for Black Walnut (Juglans nigra), too many leaflets for Juglans regia. Watch out for Juglans ailanthifolia, as the name suggests it's apt to be confused with Ailanthus.

[se7enthdevil]

american black walnut (juglans nigra) is so called because of it's dark/black bark rather than the silvery barked common walnut. that pic looks silvery to me.
