Looks like a multi-stemmed bitternut.

I am unsure of the type but the leaves and nuts are fairly small. I think it is a Bitternut Hickory. Maybe some of you can ID it from the pictures. It's bark, at first glance resembles a Tuliptree but is not furrowed quite as deep. The leaves were in a brilliant yellow fall color. The tree is located on a trail alongside Cane Creek in Fletcher Park, Fletcher NC. Hickory ( Bitternut? ) 13' 7 1/2" cbh 84.99 feet tall.
