Looks like a pecan tree.

I agree with knittlin, definitely pecan. I have them all over my garden from my neighbors tree, not to mention the donations from the local squirrel population.

Thank y'all very much That is what we thought for over 5 years when all but a dozen or so leaves dropped off there were several rotten peaches on the tree. What could have happened
The tree was given to them and it was a yr or two then and it never bloomed and the leaves and bark have always looked like pecan. They are peaches and it is not a trick and I haven't been smokin anything or eating brownies, etc

Interesting. I would have guessed either pecan or possibly pistache.

Never saw any peach with that kind of foliage.

It is Rick. The tree was given to them from a man in Bastrop that has native pecans everywhere but I found out this morning, no peaches. Could a thrown out peach pit and a pecan side by side, I can't even finish that. I have googled and binged till my fingers are sore, lol
I have an email to our county extension office with a video of the tree with the peaches and a few leaves still attached
The only thing I know for sure is the leaves, bark are pecan

Could the 'peaches' be persimmons?
Jim

No, I did think of that but they are fuzzy and they are definitely peach pits and the leaves are not persimmon.

Most peculiar. I too was thinking perhaps a peach pit got thrown out and a peach tree grew up with the pecan tree. Can you get a photo, or have the peaches fallen off?

So, no grafting took place with this strange duo???

No grafting, it was just dug up out of a yard, potted up and given to them
I can walk over and see if they left them on
There were only a few anyway

Maybe a Butternut (White Walnut) tree? The fruit of a butternut tree are fuzzy or hairy when green. The nut is deeply veined, much like a peach seed.

I thought pecan when I first saw your pic, but I believe Jim might be on to something.

Well Jolana, we are waiting for you to get back from the walk over to your neighbors yard ...

Hey girl, I had to wait for them to get home. It would have been creepy being over there when they were gone, LOL
This is the tree limb

This is the peach, btw, when you smell some, there is no doubt it is a peach
{{gwi:1378816}}

This is one I brought home
{{gwi:1378817}}
I also took pics of my peach trees and the limbs are reddish and the leaves are not opposite, they are alternate
My pecan limbs look exactly like these

Seeing those balls on the trees and that thang laying in the sink I'd say the plop thickens ... LOL

Jim, that was good thinking about the butternut, but seems the fruit on this tree is larger and rounder.

Very strange ...

I agree and Jim thank you so much for the butternut info. but they are segmented also not like a pecan but still.
I don't know what to think about it
plop thickens, lol
Oh well, I guess we will see next spring or fall.
Of course if it had bloomed before the leaves mt neighbor and I both would have seen them.
Thanks, everybody

That's a Black Walnut. They grow here everywhere.

Mash the leaves and smell them...they don't smell like a pecan tree.

The wood is prized for woodworking and can be quite expensive.

They look similar to pecan trees.

Kt

Of course it is. I haven't seen one in such a long time and forgot the process they go through.
Thank you Kt and everyone that has helped
Glad this is over, lol

Interesting! Now I remember black walnut trees. I was about 7 years old visiting relatives in California and my older cousin Bill hid behind anything he could find and threw them at me one by one by the shirt load! LOL

Check this out Jim, they mention butternut and it is fuzzy and it doesn't look segmented like it looked in the other pic
Has anyone here ever eaten a butter nut?

Black walnut for sure. I am ankle deep in the darn things every fall......Billy

Jolana, I saw that page earlier today. I was researching walnuts because I didn't think your picture really looked like pecan leaves. It was while I was doing that I came across the Butternut (White Walnut) and it's fuzzy exterior and deeply ribbed nut. The only question I have now, is, have your fingers turned brown yet after handling that nasty looking thing in your sink? Ha!Ha!
Jim

Roselee, we posted at the same time again, LOL

Boy older brothers and cousins, they were always throwing something, lol Magnolia bombs were the worst for me, lol

Billy I might just have to trade you for some, lol

Jim, yes, but I have been painting anyway, lol BTW, tell your better half the pic with the leaves is my new counter top and I love it. It isn't walnut tho, lol

Now this is wild! I was following along the thread, scratching my head and thinking, "A pecan tree with peaches?! ... Oh! I know what it is! It's confused!" Glad you found out what your neighbors' tree was, Jolana.

Hi Knittlin, I know...my crazy feeble mind, lol
I still wonder (and so does the neighbor) why it smells fruity and not bad, lol

Yes, that fruit is not peaches. Interesting how similar a lot of things can be, though, in appearance.

Wow! Jolana just found a new tree: a peachcan!

Omar

GT!! Yeah, wonder how people will pronounce it? LOL
Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Omar and Jolana, that reminds me of my Vermont father in law's joke. He said Texans had no call to brag, that he had pecan trees up there, and sent us a photo of empty cans of peas hung on his maple tree. A groaner for sure, but he had fun with it ... :-)

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! I'm thankful for all the fun and games, as well as good information from all the wonderful contributors, that we have on this forum and all the GW forums.

HAHA, I laughed, DH groaned, hehehe I think it was more funny that he took the time to hang the pea cans on the tree, LOL

Some things I have learned about my black walnut tree: The nuts need about three years to compost,they are nearly fireproof,( If I elaborate more on this fact, you'd swear I was lying), the green outer hull will stain the heck out of your hands or any other thing they come in contact with. The hulls of the nut are extremely hard to crack and if you do manage to bust one open, there is very little meat in them, but it is very tasty , heavy one the oil. It is best to rake them up and throw them away, else the lawnmower will shoot them all over the yard and they are very dangerous in flight, may as well be gravel. The roots of the black walnut emit some sort of toxin that will kill a lot of plants that you might plant under another tree. This toxin will also leach out and into any other plants under the drip line. The tree can be enormous, comparable to the burr oak in trunk size, canopy and height. The one in my yard is simply huge!! I love my tree but I absolutely detest those darn nuts! If anyone want some, they do germinate easy and grow fast. I have one that I planted last year that is already a couple of feet tall and already has it's form. It will make a great tree within a decade........Billy

Also, as I mentioned above, the wood is expensive. There are stories here of people getting up in the morning to find fences cut and their walnut trees gone.

Soak the walnuts overnight before cracking them...it makes the job much easier.

We used to soak the hulls in water in a 5-gallon bucket for a few hours, then pour it out in an area where you know there are worms, and the worms will come right to the surface. Great for those of you who like to fish with worms...no digging!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone.

I find the nuts on the beach all the time. I don't think they ever rot! Never tried sprouting one off the beach though. I've got some other seabeans sprouting right now, seahearts and hamburger beans. I've grown crimuns from seeds found on the beach also.
Tally HO!

After the hurricane two Summers ago, I found several plants on the beach...some still in pots.

I brought home some cactus, a few different types of ornamental grasses, and a few plants that I am not sure what they even are.

Also found a coconut. It sprouted, but died before I got it in my greenhouse.

Never saw any walnuts though.

Kt

I actually thought it was going to be pics of the leaves of the plant she grows under that camo tarp in the back yard.

I do sentinal beachcombing, the same strip of beach I've been beachcombing since I was a kid. I write down everything I find, bottles, seeds, shoes.... I had to learn what I was finding to keep track. Usually a lot of these on the beach along with pecans, water hickory & some other things after ya'll have had heavy rains and the stuff is carried down by the rivers. I've got crinums, hymenocallis and cactus rescued after hurricanes in the past.
Tally HO!

Uh Tally, would that be risky? LOL
That is one of the most interesting things I have heard of the aftermath of a hurricane

It's pretty amazing what washes up on beaches, there are a bunch of us around the world. We all send out data to Curt in Washington state. He publishes "The Beachcombers Alert". Just google it, cheap to subscripe and always interesting. I could tell when the cruise ships started going in & out of Galveston by what started washing up on the beach. I can tell you what time of year YOU were on the beach by what you found there.

After Ike we found roofs, porches, cows, a horse, a pig, lots of snakes, small animals, staircases, kitchen cabinets, porch swings, and amazing number of chairs....all the animals were dead of course. I added a lot of shoes to my wall of lost soles, even right shoes which I almost never find. We even hung one of the shoes on the memorial wall they put up on the Seawall on the one year anniversary. People wrote poems, put up pics, hung MRE's on the fence too. It was pretty cool.

The coolest thing I ever found was a message in a bottle! I was on the front page of the paper and everything. The wall of lost soles even made it on the news, Channel 26 in Houston came down & filmed me on the beach & all the stuff in my yard from the beach.
Tally HO!

Yes, after Ike, everything you needed to build a house with, was washed up on the beach.

Below is a pic of a mailbox that someone found and 'stood' upright.

Here is a child's toy boat that sailed for who knows how many miles...

I have never seen sooo many toys, and plastic planter pots. I took over 70 pots home with me.
