Happy WW!; 1/21/2009 11:30 PM
Mojo said...: We have a winner here folks. The correct answer was supplied by Camera Totin' Idiot who correctly identified this tree as a walnut. Specifically it is a Black Walnut at least according to everything I've found by way of identification. The good folks at the US Forest Service have a site dedicated to tree identification so I was able to confirm CTI's answer.
