The Shagbark Hickory is a majestic deciduous tree distinguished by its unique, grey bark that peels away in long, vertical strips. It typically grows with a straight trunk and an irregular, oval-rounded crown, reaching impressive heights. Its large, pinnately compound leaves turn a brilliant golden-yellow in autumn. This hardy species thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, producing edible nuts and prized timber. It is a vital wildlife resource and a striking landscape specimen for large spaces.
