On my way home from work yesterday after a windy rain storm and there in the road is a downed Hickory tree. About 10 or 12 inches in diameter, nice and straight, but with a few branches growing out of it.
I have never cut Hickory from the tree. From the books, it looks like black Hickory, but I could be wrong. Any tree id ideas?
All the groups have 7 leaflets and are consistent size. The bark is medium rough.
