I grabbed this leaf off a branch while jogging. The fruit smelled wonderful and had a slight fuzz to it. It was soft but still hard to crack open. What do I have here?

Thanks!

Probably a Hickory species of some sort (Carya sp.) - of which Pecan is a member.

Would be nice to see more of the tree (and the whole compound leaf)...

You could also show the cracked open seed - that is evidence as well.

Manchurian Walnut Juglans mandschurica (Japanese Walnut is very similar, but usually has globose, not elongated, nuts)

Awesome. I've never seen this species before; is it more common around where I live than I think?
