Bitternut Hickory
Carya cordiformis
Spring
Summer

Winter
The bud at the end of each twig is over 1/2 inch long. The bud is sulfur yellow and is present all year long. The bitternut is small and bitter and inedible. I hope and plan to add a photo of the bud and bitternut very soon.
For the love of the trees,
