I'm excited to have swampdonkey (Bill) up here at the cabin this week. He and I have been exploring my property a bit and he has been pointing out things I had no idea was here, for example, what is in the photos below. I'm thtilled at some of the discoveries we are having. :)   Can you I.D. this find?  I have several on the property.

I know what they are, and we had them in Maine. I know what we called them there, but I'm not sure if that's the right term.

I thought about this today when I was at my woodlot and what really got me going was the juvenile leaves on alder so I was thinking it was alder but the word that comes first belongs with another shrub. So...yes ! I figured it out  :)

I think I got it. I thought it was a native tree of Maine by the way mooseherder said it grew on the edge of his cabin.
It can be an eye color,correct?

But it's a special version of this nut discribed by a word not often associated with trees/shrubs and it describes the shape of this nut-case.

Puzzles are fun  ;D

Yes, Cfarm, you have the name in mind that I know it by, since I grew up in Maine. But there is something else by that name that is more commonly known to the world, so I am waiting for the full roll-out by the dermatologists.

We have a lot of those around here, mostly along the river banks.

Don't wait until they turn brown to harvest them, or the squirrels will beat you to it!
