Growing Tips & Maintenace
- Shagbark hickory can become a large tree, needing ample space. They can be hard to transplant, due to their significant taproot.
Additional Notes
- Native to Ontario and parts of North America. Nuts were an important food source for Native Americans and early settlers and are commercially sold today. Cross-pollination generally produces a more abundant crop of quality nuts. Hickory wood, an excellent fuel source, is often used to cure or smoke meats. Extremely hard, the wood is used to make a variety of products, including tool handles, ladders, and furniture. This tall ornamental shade tree is ideal for large landscapes and park settings, particularly when attracting wildlife is desired.
