What is the name of this nut???
This nut tree grows by my work, but I don't know what it is. When you crack the shell in half it looks like a pignose. The meat tastes similar to a walnut. The outside shell is small, round, and blackish. It has another outer shell that starts out green and turns black and crispy. With both shells intact it is about the size of a golfball. What is it? and is it edible?
Answers:
Sounds like hickory nut if it's smooth or black walnut if rough.
