SHELLBARK HICKORY (Carya lacinosa) SOLD OUT FOR SPRING 2009
The shellbark hickory produces a large usually thicker shelled nut than does the shagbark, with the same ornamental qualities, and fine kernel flavor. The natural range of the shellbark does not extend as far north as the shagbark, and they are typically a lowlands species. The foliage of the shellbark clones have good scab resistance. Columnar shaped trees reach 70-80' and should be planted 30-50' apart. Nut harvest begins in 8-10 yrs.
