Shagbark Hickory

I’ll give you one guess why it’s called Shagbark Hickory- and it’s not because it was the inspiration for 1970s flooring. Its characteristic peeling, platy bark gives this tree four season interest no matter the location. Strong wood for timber and sweet nuts for wildlife make this tree a historic and contemporary staple of eastern North America. Seed-grown trees are notoriously difficult to transplant but our stock is specially trained and treated to develop a fibrous, easily transplanted root mass.
