Hi,
Can someone identify a tree for me, please?
I'm attaching a couple of photos.
First is a photo showing two large trees. I know that the tree on the right is a black walnut. It produces lots of nuts each year; but after ending up with black fingers for a month last fall I've decided it's not worth trying to do anything with the nuts.
It's the tree on the left in that first photo that I'd like to identify. The foliage is very similar to that of the walnut, but its bark is slightly different. And the tree on the left has never produced anything.
The second photo is a close up of a top section of that left tree, showing some sort of catkins hanging down. I never noticed those before today. Are those its blossoms?
Are walnut trees of separate sexes? Is my tree on the left a male walnut tree?
Thanks.
