Shagbark Hickory (Carya ovata ) is a large deciduous tree that typically grows 70-90’ tall with an irregular, oval-rounded crown. At maturity trunk reach to 2-3’ in diameter. This tree features smooth, medium yellow-green, odd-pinnate, compound leaves, each leaf having 5 (less frequently 7 or 9) finely-toothed. The tree is monoecious, greenish yellow flowers appear in April-May, the male flowers in pendulous catkins 3-5” long and the female flowers in short spikes. Female flowers give way to edible oval-rounded nuts. Each nut is encased in a moderately thick husk which splits open in four sections when ripe in fall. Nuts were an important food source to Native Americans and early settlers, and are commercially sold today.
