Central Illinois my guess is sycamore tree. Emile Jun 2023 #3

Not a sycamore. I have one of those. sinkingfeeling Jun 2023 #4

Sycamore have leaves similar to a maple, but much larger. n/t FSogol Jun 2023 #6

Not a shagbark hickory Tetrachloride Jun 2023 #7

No, single large leaves and there are no nuts. sinkingfeeling Jun 2023 #8

I always assume rodents ate the nuts/seeds in from those pods. n/t FSogol Jun 2023 #13
