|
The bark of the Hickory Nut tree very closely resembles the Pecan tree to which it is closely related.
|
The hickory nuts are light brown in color, slightly flattened and angled. The hickory kernels are difficult to obtain but the sweet, tangy flavor is well worth the effort in cracking.
|
The hickory nuts of the Hickory Tree are used in delicious treats like hickory fudge.
|
The Hickory Tree grows very large (75-120 ft) with a deep taproot that forces the Hickory tree to grow quickly with a tall trunk and a narrow, but irregular crown and rough, shaggy, light gray bark.
|
The nuts of the Hickory tree ripen over a long period of time and the individual Hickory nut falls to the ground where it is stored for winter eating by squirrels, and other wildlife animals.
|
The dazzling gold of the Hickory tree develops in November after the first frost falls.
