Sweet Pignut Hickory

Pot, 3-6" MIPE_3-6 $11.75 Out of stock
Sweet Tasting Hickory Nut

Native hickory widely distributed throughout the northeast in all types of soils from sand to clay. Trees develop a broad rounded crown with a height of 60-80 ft. with a trunk diameter up to 2 ft. Ages of 200-300 years are common. Small nut with a thick shell. In my opinion as good to eat as shagbark. Transplants easier than shagbark. True to type seed source from Pennsylvania.
