Hello, I'm new to the forum and am attempting to I.d. Some trees in my woods. I live in Indiana and these appear to be walnuts on the ground with walnut leaves, but don't look like my black walnut trees. Thanks in advance.

American black walnut leaves will have the terminal leaflet aborted.  Not so in English walnut.  The terminal leaflet will be present.  Need a close-up pic of a whole leaf.  This will solve the mystery.

Unfortunately they are about 50 feet up.

Maybe you can find a squirrel for hire.

Ok these were growing directly below the tree. These look like ash leaves though.

Just looking at the nut shells on the ground I'd say that cannot be English Walnut.  They look like black walnut to me.  I'd say cut the tree down and have a look inside... ;) :D

I agree.  The nuts indicate American black walnut.
