Some member of the hickory/walnut family. Not black walnut based on that ID description. It calls out a small or missing terminal leaflet on that compound leaf which does not match the OP's picture. The bark is way too rough to be an english walnut, I have one in my back yard. That pretty much leaves the hickory group.
Thank You Gents. Its deffinately not walnut since I have no walnuts or walnut husks on the ground under the tree. Funny thing is that I can't find any hickory nuts either.
It is a hickory. There are five leaflets per leaf, and the leaflets are rather narrow, so I would go with Pignut or one of the similar hickories. It isn't Shagbark. What type of hickory it is doesn't matter now, since all are similar as firewood.
I dont know if the nuts are annual but they ripen in the late fall. They might be really tiny yet.
I dont know about the hickory trees but my maples and Ash are full of samaras this year.
Shagbark has 5 leaves too...but they are huge compared to Pig. And the nuts dont stick around long, you gotta be really quick.
