A lot of pictures and information about nuts. "Sweets to the sweet, and nuts to you" Just kidding of course. http://waynesword.palomar.edu/ecoph8.htm Signals over! Dear WW, somebody misinformed you. The gum tree with the spiked ball is the sweet gum. Here is a URL with a picture, showing one of the spiked ball in center of the picture. It enlarges if you click on it. http://www.nysite.com/nature/flora/sweetgum.htm Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: squirrel food #117536 12/13/2003 12:52 AM Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 6,296 Piedmont Region of Virginia, U...

If you can dig up my message to you, I wrote sweet gum. We have numerous sweet gum trees and black gum trees in Virginia. You mentioned to me black gum spikes and I told you a while back that they were sweet gum and not black gum. It is a terrible thing to be misquoted, but if you check our messages back and forth, you'll see I'm telling the truth here. I would never in a million years--till I lose my mind--call a sweet gum ball a black gum ball, espeically since there isn't a spiked black gum ball in all of Virginia.
