I'm a Jersey girl living in the country and I've got no clue about nature. Please tell me what this is.

I have this tree in my yard and it's dropping what I think are nuts. I took pictures. Please tell me what it is. Also is it dangerous for my dog?

Oh the tree is in North Carolina. I'm not sure if that will help identify it.I'm a Jersey girl living in the country and I've got no clue about nature. Please tell me what this is.
If they are pecans, what time should we be over for the pie ?I'm a Jersey girl living in the country and I've got no clue about nature. Please tell me what this is.
It's really hard to tell, but I'd guess pecan tree. Do the nuts kinda look like walnuts? The close up photos are kinda blurry and if you want better confirmation of the tree, put a few photos of the leaves! If it is a pecan, heck yeah you can eat it! YUM!





Photo of pecan leaves with green nuts. The outer green portion dries up and turns really dark brown, then splits, then you have the nut in the middle

It's a pecan. In PA they are @ $8.00 lb shelled. You could sell them or shell them and use them yourself...wish I could say the same about all the acorns I've had to pick up this fall. Happy eating!
The oval nuts are pecan. The round is hickory. Both edible.
ohhh you lucky girl! what you have is a pecan tree. the nuts can be gathered each year and are delicious, they will not harm your dog
It is a PECAN, $5 per pound in illinois!
looks like a hickory nut and yes they are good to eat.
