Asked November 20, 2025, 1:53 PM EST

We bought an autumn blaze tree from a nursery 3 years ago.. After the leaves shead this fall we saw these two hard shelled object's on the top of the tree. Dont know what they are. Are they harmful to the tree. Is this a different tree than what we thought?

Expert Response

Your tree is a maple and those nuts look like black walnuts. 

Is there a black walnut nearby? Squirrels love black walnuts and will stash them almost anywhere.
