Carya70-90' × 50-70'. One of our most beautiful native nut trees. Straight trunked with branches that curve skyward at the tips. Not only does the bark shag, it looks like huge long strips are about to fall off.
After the tree reaches bearing age, about 40 years, it will shower the yard with sweet edible nuts. Those left unharvested will likely be planted by local creatures, some four legged, some two. Light green odd-pinnate compound leaves with 3-7" leaflets are rich yellow in fall. Slow growing but very long-lived. Tough wood used for making tool handles.
Found growing primarily in upland hardwood forests, it prefers rich well-drained loam but is adaptable. Self-pollinating but planting multiples benefits crop yields. Native from Quebec to Georgia and east to Minnesota. Z4. (1-3' bare-root trees)
