The fruit looks like a lime? Just right for my G&T.

Just what I was thinking!:)) Lime.

Black wallnut. Juglans nigra.

Take a bit of the leaf and crush it between your fingers...it should smell of tangerines !!!!!

Gosh! Really!

They're not supposed to live here...but, so are lots of other things! That's just grand!

Thanks both! Cheers...clink!! :)))

Try the leaf test Karen...i could be wrong !!!!

It's about 30kms away Andy...so I could go back and crush the leaves...maybe next week...! :))

Think that the leaves are broader, though...

There are walnut trees everywhere here, Andy.

And the fruit has that look!! :)

Just never seen leaves like this before...

They look exotic!

Next time you see one Karen, just gently take a leaf and crush it. If it smells fruity like tangerine, it'll be the above. If not, i appologise and i haven't a clue what it is.

It does look like a Juglans tho !!!! xxx

Oh dear...now I have to go back and try, Andy!

...not a big problem...I needed an excuse to go back to that market, anyway.... :))) xxx

I think its a walnuttree. I've got one in the garden and it looks exactly the same. I'll put a photo on in a bit s you can verify.

Looks like the Nogal (walnut) that thrives here. Our favourite little holiday casa in this village is called El Nogal due to the walnut tree that used to grow beside it. Sadly it turned up its roots in a storm last year!

Definitely a walnut. Great time to harvest them for green pickled walnuts!

Now I look at it again, after all these other ideas, the walnut idea seems a good one. No good in a G and T sadly :))

Thanks everyone!

There are walnuts growing all around here, but this is the first one I've ever seen on eye-level.

Sadly, it's not mine, Bertie...because I like them in a salade Perigourdine! :)

I think it looks beautiful, just wish I had room for one in my garden...
