Can you name this tree?

[adnedarn]

Hello! We were off on a lake trip last week and on the way we came across some trees that interested my brother. We pulled over and took some quick pics on my phone, hopefully they're good enough that someone could help ID them.
Thanks!

Photos taken where?

 

[dashman]

Looks like some sort of Elm tree?? But I am going by local partial knowledge of trees and leaf shapes.

 

[Taliesin-DS]

Looks more like Fraxinus or Salix to me, but i know nothing about trees in subtropic regions.

 

[millworkman]

Looks like a Walnut or Hickory.

Family Junglandaceae

taken just north of me... i think it was around globe az. i dont rememer the exact small town

 

[Taliesin-DS]

Took a look in my tree guide and now i think it might be a Pterocarya/ wingnut.
Those little green maple fruit looking things in the lower right corner of the last pic look kinda like wingnut fruit imho.

Edit: wich is in the Junglandaceae family like millworkman suggested

 

[adnedarn]

I had taken a picture of the fruit.. but can't find it on my phone.. guess I didn't hit the save button. So, this is the best I can do,

Thanks for the guesses we'll have a look and see if any look like what we saw!

Some sort of gum/Eucalyptus? Did it have a scent?

We did not tear a leaf, but eucalyptus didn't come to mind when I saw it. they had a pretty big canopy and I also noted quite a bit of dead wood in there... But of course only seeing these trees I cannot conclude if dead wood is common of the Sp. or if these trees have been abused (times without water, pests, or something) The fruit was definitely bigger than the little things the eucalyptus around here have.

Get a koala and see if it eats the leaves?

 

[kulamauiman]

dunno. doubt it is a eucalyptus. i see what appears to be compound leaves. None of the eucalyptus I know have them ( but I havent seen all of them). Was leaning towards something in the families: meliaceae or anacardiaceae. maybe a Rhus or Pistacia chinensis ?

 

[Frilleon]

it is definitely not eucalyptus. The tree bark gives that away as eucalyptus has smooth skin.

I too have to say it's in the Family Junglandaceae. It looks very similar to a walnut.
My guess would be the Arizona Walnut http://www.cirrusimage.com/tree_Arizona_walnut.htm

 

[kulamauiman]

dunno Frilleon. Leaves of the walnut are fuzzy not the glossy green i am seeing in the pic. Looks more like :

[Taliesin-DS]

Don't forget about the fruit, thats more important then leaf color /size imho.

 

[Brokken]

I second Millworkman's opinion: Looks like something in the juglandaceae family which includes hickory and walnuts.

 

[SirKristoff]

i agree with Arizona walnut...

 

[Brokken]

I think I found your tree.

Water Hickory

[adnedarn]

I think water hickory looks very close, but I read those need very wet media, almost bogish. I doubt that happens here. So Arizona walnut is the closest so far I think. I found the exact location, here is a google street level mapping of it. Maybe these further pics will help too.

Ok, showed the pics on my phone to the main plant guy at lowes... He's actually one that does know what he's talking about... And he came to the conclusion of Chinese Pistache (Pistacia chinensis) which I think is also in the same group as the ones being suggested here. He's says they're commonly used in parks and things up there also... Whatcha think?
