Description
A shagbark selection out of Tennessee, kept for nut size — large enough that it is routinely compared to a shellbark.
Ontario growers rank it among the cultivars useful further south or on especially favourable sites rather than among the first choices for cold ground, which is a useful reminder that a hickory recommendation is regional even within a species’ native range.
