The silvery foliage looks a bit like Russian Olive (Elaeagnus sp) but I don't think it has reddish bud scales. What kind of site is the tree growing in -- ie moist soil, wet, dry -- clay sand ? Mostly sun or shade?

Well, pre-dominantly, we have red clay soil.. But where the 'specimen' is growing, it is moist, grassy, in the beginning of an over run area of our lower yard... I will grab a pic of the area and post shortly....  |

I hope the photos show how overgrown the area is. Since we have had TONS of rain recently, you can see how lush and green the grass is!! I added another close up of the leaves. and a close up of 'bleeder-type' stems off the main trunk..      |

Hi! Going by the seriously huge prophylls (the red 'leaf' type things), the lenticels (the spots on the stems) and the leaflets, I think this is a very young Carya ovata. Check out the pics here: Carya ovata (Shagbark Hickory) https://facultystaff.richmond.edu/~j...R-HILL_02s.JPG When the leaves develop you will be able to get a more accurate ID. Cheers! |
