Banality: Pecan 4: Not A Pecan

I matched the leaves against pictures in a reference book, and found that the plant in question is not a pecan, but a Black Hickory. This is immensely disappointing, because its nuts are not edible, at least not easily. They do look totally like pecans from the outside, and the plant was growing from a nut, so I took it for a pecan.

I'm going to continue to refer to it as "pecan" for the sake of continuity.

Update: Pecan 5.
