Found this hickory and it keyed out to be Sweet Pignut Hickory. I'll have to wait till spring to check the leaves to make sure. Below is the tight fissured bark which is typical of hickories.
Sweet Pignut Hickories have thin husks. More reasons to head to the woods. I can compare the difference between the two nuts. There are a lot of Bitternut hickories in the area to find.
Unique buds show the tree and its character. Another hickory has orange buds. They are fuzzy and it is a Bitternut hickory.
These buds below come from a Bitternut hickory tree. It will be interesting to look at the tree in the Spring to verify what kind of tree this is.
The pith of the twig is brown and solid.
The Lord is good. His mercy is everlasting. His word is true and can be trusted in hard times. He is a Father to the fatherless, a friend to the friendless. Let us give Jesus the opportunity to show Himself strong for us as we serve Him.
