[QUOTE="jschoolcraft86, post: 1605065, member: 27711"] i know some but i have a guy who can identify any tree i've pointed him at so far. Here's what I think so far: 1.) tiny thick hard shells sound like "native" pecans. good for squirrel food. 2.) oblong and thin shelled sounds like Shawnee. I have some of these and like them pretty well, the long skinny kernel is definitely different and easily spotted. 3.) the final one sounds tricky but if you can get a pic of the nut i'll take a crack at it. Pics of leaves and limb structure would be good too. when you crack them does the shell come off pretty easily or does it crack up the kernel some when you try to pull it all apart? I know that may be subjective or tough to nail down. I ask because Cheyenne are a smaller and rounder than Shawnee but they shell out really easily. When I take Cheyenne to the sheller they're always happy because they don't take much to get clean. Also, do they seem like the shucks split earlier, later, or about the same time what I think are the Shawnee? I'm pretty confident on the first two but I'm happy to look at anything you send over and run it by my guy. [/QUOTE]
