The Shagbark Hickory Tree features a distinctive, shag covered bark, which is easily discernible on the taller, straight trees, and such is where it gets its name from. It grows well in both wet and dry locations, however it thrives when planted in well-drained soils, and is normally among oak trees. The wood has a strong, hard, elastic trait, and makes excellent firewood and smoking wood for meat. The nuts are edible, and can attract smaller wildlife to your yard, such as squirrels and rabbits, who enjoy feeding upon the nuts sweet kernels. Buy hickory trees online with Willis Orchards!

USDA Hardiness Zones
A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined as having a certain average annual minimum temperature, a factor relevant to the survival of many plants. In some systems other statistics are included in the calculations. The original and most widely used system, developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a rough guide for landscaping and gardening, defines 13 zones by long-term average annual extreme minimum temperatures. It has been adapted by and to other countries (such as Canada) in various forms. A plant may be described as "hardy to zone 10": this means that the plant can withstand a minimum temperature of −1.1 to 4.4 °C (30 to 40 °F).
