I tried the app from Texas A&M that Texas Ranger recommended and got Ash.  Agree or too young to tell?

Sumac  Genus Rhus.

No! No!  That is wrong.  Not sumac.  I believe that it is black walnut. Notice that the terminal leaflet has aborted, a unique characteristic of black walnut.  Sumac has a terminal leaflet.

WHAT?? Danny not recognize Walnut? Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, it's MASS HYSTERIA!!!  The end is near, the end is near...  Oh the horror the horror.   :D

It only took 4 minutes and 27 seconds for me to realize my horrendous botanical error .

I could understand that logic if we were talking about some exotic wood that only grows above 10,000 ft elevation and north of 50° latitude in say interior Uzbekistan or something, then yes the 4:27 would be acceptable - disappointing, but defensible.  

But we are discussing black walnut here.....  I mean what's next you gonna start using two syllable words all the time now and retire from being a sesquipedalian extraordinaire or something?  :D

That app certainly blew walnut.

I wrote myself up for poor performance and documented it in my Personel file.  I have put myself on an improvement plan  .

But how long did it take Sir Danny to identify a certain piece of Walnut at the Pig Roast??

This is good to know - will definitely remember this going forward.  Ash/pecan/hickory all have a terminal leaflet, correct?

Lol, I always like to look at these and make a guess before I see what Danny says.  I looked at this and thought it was walnut, until I saw Danny's answer.  I was disappointed that I was wrong.  Thennnnn I saw I was right!

[WDH]

I was just going to modify my post and correct it, but I did the stand up thing and admitted that I made a mistake :.  First one that I have ever made :.

[firefighter ontheside]

I appreciate that DAnny.

Thats a too-close-to-the-porch tree.

It was a volunteer in a pot that was supposed to be a small ornamental.  It's going to get moved.
