trying to start identifying my local flora, or at least what is in my yard...can anyone help? from the tree book i thought maybe a hickory, but then the nuts don't seem to have four-part husks, more like two-part. it's always so hard for me to identify plants and trees with those books. the leaves are only a couple of inches long and their edges do have little tiny teeth. remember we are in central nc.
Maybe it's a red hickory?

that seems to be the consensus on facebook! although my book calls it a pignut hickory, but i see on the wiki that's another name for red. thanks lisa!!
