Product Details
Shagbark hickory is a prized forest tree celebrated by foragers and nut enthusiasts for its superior flavor and distinct shaggy bark. We offer this species as bareroot stock for late fall and early spring dormant planting, providing a cost-effective option for establishing larger groves or agroforestry systems.
Carya ovata is a native hardwood known for its adaptability and ecological value. This species is an excellent choice for riparian buffers, edible landscapes, and wildlife habitat restoration. It serves as a larval host for the Banded Hairstreak and Hickory Hairstreak butterflies while providing abundant food for local wildlife. Shagbark hickory thrives in moist soil with full sun but can also establish in drier upland sites. Hardy in zones 4–8, it reaches a mature height of 70-90 ft with a spread of 50 ft.
Whether planted for its timber value, ecological benefits, or future nut harvest, this adaptable tree adds significant long-term value to the landscape. Growers can expect a robust specimen capable of enduring varied conditions.
Our shagbark hickory is grown from seed collected at Arthur's Point Farm.
Prohibited States: AZ, CA, TX
