Unidentified tree
« on: July 09, 2019, 03:11:36 PM »
I spotted this tree while when I were hiking.  Does anyone know what is it and the fruit is eatable or not?

If you saw this in a temperate-zone forest, that may be hickory nuts.

the serrated leaves should be a dead give away for somebody who knows what this is, I have never seen this tree.

Looks like a tropical specie of black walnut.Where did you find it? In Mexico?

Juglans Californica or J Hindsii or J Major.The place where you find it would be usefull in picking one of these 3.They all have red walnuts similar to J Neotropica  and all are edible.
Californica and Hindsii are endangered species,better leave the nuts on the tree( maybe try one or 2) or plant them/ sell them to otthers that would plant them.
