What is this tree? | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

This is a young volunteer tree on the edge of the woods. This is the first time it’s had these nuts. Can you tell me what it is?

I wishes I could see more details of the tree i.e. the whole tree, close up of bark, etc… I’m taking a guess, maybe a type of hickory (Carya) & its immature nuts (?). Check out the included link below for the Pignut hickory (C. glabra). Click on image to enlarge. Again without extra details to help narrow down, I’m only speculating. Best wishes! http://www.norfolkwoodlots.com/trees/pignut-hickory/
