Not shagbark, but the leaves look hickory like.
-
Yea that's shag bark.The bark can be tighter sometimes on some too.I'll guarantee it.I've got tons and tons of it here by me.
-
If not it's pignut.they both have the same type of leaves.Can't tell much diff in the performance of shag to pignut though.They're both really good bow wood.Pig nut might have a little more heartwood in it and it's bark is a little smoother than shagbark.Lots of times both are in the same area.
-
My bet is pignut or bitternut hickory. The good news? Hickory is hickory! Cut it soy bean!
-
I'm leaning pretty hard to pignut...shaggys nuts are usually bigger than that..but who cares...hickory is hickory ;)...is this tree in Minnesota Thad? Planted as ornamental, or native grown tree? The only hickories native to Minnesota is shagbark,and bitternut...and that ain't bitternut,or shagbark IMHO ..
-
You got to remember on a dry year the nuts can be smaller.

lol shaggy nuts lol

Glad someone caught that..lol :laugh:
Yeah Ed...we've had a wet wet wet year here...shag is the most common hickory of the several hickories that grow out here....what's also deceiving and not knowing by us is how big of diameter that trunk is? You know hickory has three different bark phases from sapling to full on mature 2` plus diameter trunks...
-
Yep but his is big enough now.

Thanks guys....another question most of the hickory I have around has a smooth bark the nuts look the same but have almost a pine smell( I have already thought of every nut and smell joke and word arrangement Lol) would that be pignut?

LMAO YOUR KILLING ME SOY!!!!

Not sure about the smell you describe,and I ain't smelling your small nuts either
-
that's a shame blackhawk because I was fully prepared to send you a sack of Nuts to smell....they smell good enough to eat...all fun aside they really do
-
lmao....
Soy, the Bitternut around here has nuts like that but the bark is smoother/tighter. I think tree in the picture is pignut though.

Thanks david ;)

I've lived here in western Kentucky for 3-1/2 years now. On my 40 acres there are shagbark, shellbark, pignut, bitternut and mockernut hickories.
That tree is definitely NOT a shagbark or shell bark. I think the bark is atypical of any of the hickories on my place, BUT, the leaves and fruit are definitely pignut.
Great news is, pignut is the strongest of the hickories.
