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?? :o

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!
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 ::).
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.
