It seems the transmigration of the images has cost some of the sharpness so here are a couple of other shots...







There is at least two of you out there that should know without even looking at the pictures... :)  Tim

I tend to agree with Danny, but would like to see the stems and leaf nodes.

if i recall right my dad callid that a shoemake , when  it gets bigger it will have thorns on the bark. we would cut it to the length of a hoe and make hoehandles after it was peeled. the pith was verry soft. they are plenty of them growing in southwest louisiana.

What you call shoemake is in the genus Rhus, the sumac family.  I do not think that it is a sumac.

Tom, it is definitely a notsweetgum, Dangineferious notliquidambarstyracifluaia :)  So, as a result, it is not rare and quite common.  There are notsweetgums everywhere you look around you  :D.

The cfarm has done got it...Its Butternut....Juglans cinerea L.....DogeyLoner sent me 25 or 30 a while back...I had several to come up---but they turned white and died...as far as I know this is the only one that made it...

If it survives to adult hood will it polinate itself or would it have to have another one to make some babies....?   Is there any thing I should spray it with to keep it healthy...I made little wire baskets out of hardware cloth and sunk them into the ground and planted the nuts inside them to keep the squirles from getting the nut....they might not have bothered it since they have probably never seen one....should I fence it off to keep the deer from eating it down....?

Since you have a lot more deer than we do, it might be a good idea to fence it. I know hare will eat anything green up here.  Moose will destroy them. :D


The tree will self pollinate, but it's always a plus to have others to cross with. If Dodgy picked the nuts from a loan isolated tree that may be the problem causing most seedlings to die. If it were from a grove or in close proximity to others, which is how they grow around here mostly, they would cross for better seed. There are walnut twig borers to consider and the canker. Don't know what to recommend there. I think the best approach is keep it weeded so it's getting full light to be healthier to begin with.

To my surprise, I found one just across the road and up on the edge of a maple grove, this winter. It's about the same size as the yard tree. It's probably 300 yards from mine.

Here are some pictures of the tree next door I just took.







While there, I found two bunches of these under the canopy. ;D
