I've been trying to figure out what that plant is in the pot.

That's the kinda varmint that would knock the plant over , bust the pot , dig out the rootball, sniff at it and walk away - iffn he could still walk.

Nice job  ;)

What made me think of Mountain Ash?

Looks like black ash to me Fraxinus nigra because of the 9 sessile (no petiolules/stems) leaflets. I can't see if they are serrate. Could also fit bitternut hickory Carya cordiformis. This is what is going to make it interesting for me to find and distinguish seedlings coming up from those seed I planted. Hmmm, are they black ash or bitternut?  :D :D :D  8)


Tom, your getting as dodgy as your coherts.  8)  ;D

I'm puttin' all of my money on pecan.  There's no mountain-ash or black ash in Tom's area, so those are unlikely choices.  Bitternut hickory is a definite possibility, as well as water hickory, but I've never known anyone to plant either of those on purpose...so pecan it is!

Well, it's obviously impossible to conclusively ID that little plant from the photo alone, so I'm just making some unfounded assumptions to narrow my list down to a single species.  I know how you like that shotgun approach, though ;D.

How about this:  I don't think it's a mountain-ash because the lower leaflets are smaller than the upper leaflets.  Mountain-ashes tend to have leaflets that are more or less equal in size.  And I don't think it's black ash because the leaves appear to be alternate :).

This plant Id stuff is tough!!

 
.... and this one is turning out to be a real bear.

I've studied it and studied it and.....
 
You can see the way that the leaves are connected in this shot.  I don't think that the yellow flowers are part of it but the big green leaf might be a shadow leaf or not. :P :-\

I think that must be a bear spot in the background.

Something ain't cosher here. My black walnuts have 17 - 21 leaflets and the petioles at the base and the tip are smaller than the ones (petioles) mid way up. But who said it was black walnut? :D :D Typically, larger petioles on the tip are hickories. But they are in the same family as walnut.  ;D

Not mountain ash because they are twice compound, where the petioles are also compound.

Tom, ya got hood winked at Wal-Mart. Take it back man. ;D :D

Well, shucks, TOM.  You've discovered our secret.

For tree ID, real foresters look at the tag   ;D

Notice that the alleopathic ability of that walnut killed the bear......

Tom, you have to watch the company you keep :).

Must be English Walnut (Juglans regia) or some other variety..  In Black Walnut (Juglans nigra), the terminal leaflet usually aborts.......... ;)
