A standout native of the Midwest and Eastern United States, the shagbark hickory is easily recognized by the shaggy, curling bark that develops as it matures. This long-lived hardwood offers dense shade and seasonal color, with leaves turning golden- brown in fall. In spring, it produces green catkins followed by rich, buttery nuts, similar to pecans but hardier in northern climates. While nut production is irregular, they’re excellent for home use and attract abundant wildlife, including squirrels, turkeys, and ducks. Its bark can even be used to flavor syrup or smoke foods, making it as practical as it is picturesque.
