    This is definitely not Carya ovata or anything in the Carya genus, but I can understand how keying can get confusing! Carya typically has leaves arranged into pinnate groups of 5 to 7. (Ash trees are similar but these leaf groups are arranged opposite on branches rather than alternately). Here is a picture of the typical leaf arrangement of Carya ovata: https://nature.mdc.mo.gov/sites/default/files/styles/centered_full/public/media/field-guide/Shagbark_hickory_Carya_ovata_8-22-16.jpg?itok=weUyNTUu

    I would be inclined to put this in the Prunus genus. Note the alternately arranged leaves with serrate margins. This is possibly Prunus serotina (Black Cherry).     Posted 7 years ago, modified 7 years ago
