    Hi,

    I have a tree in my backyard that I have no clue what it is. It has this fruit or nut. (doesn't bloom). The fruit is kind of sticky on the outside. It stains your fingers when you touch it. I have included 2 pictures. Pls help! Thanks

    Thsi is walnut, Juglans. J. cinerea most likely.

    Don't know if they grow there but leaves look long enough to be an Asian walnut (J. ailantifolia etc.), low forking also typical of these. Butternut tends to have less long, dramatic leaves and to retain a single trunk for some height before forking.
