My neighbor has this tree in his front yard and I would like to know what it is so I can plant one myself. It has "nuts" similar to a hickory nut. Pictures are attached. Thank you and I hope my first post is in the correct forum.
I will have to take a picture of the leaves and bark tomorrow morning. Thank you for your interest and hope you will check back tomorrow.
One possibility. http://australian-insects.com/lepidoptera/plants/sapi/cupaniopsis-anarcardioides.html
Certainly looks like it could be a Tuckeroo; the nuts on yours are probably immature. Can you post a close-up pic of a branch with some fruit? As an aside, if it is a Tuckeroo, don't plant one - it is listed as a serious invasive alien weed tree in Florida.
Thanks, that's a Carrotwood (Cupaniopsis anacardioides)tree for certain. http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2008/jun/27/season-carrotwood/ According to this source it's illegal to possess without a permit.
thank you so much. now I will have to research if I want to plant one or not being it is considered "invasive" Guess I will have to find another type tree to plant. This one is NOT for me here in Florida Thanks everyone for all the help.
Due just to the subtropical native flora of the Keys Florida leads the nation in number of tree species, you are in the right state to have a large selection to choose from. Where severe limitations can be encountered is in neighborhoods built on extreme soils and subject to strong coastal winds.
