3 Bare Root Pignut Hickory Trees Carya glabra 12 Inch Native Shade Tree

Pignut Hickory is a long-lived North American native shade tree valued for its sturdy structure, compound foliage, and dependable landscape presence. Carya glabra develops a deep taproot and an upright oval canopy, making it a handsome choice for large yards, naturalized areas, and native plantings where a durable, low-maintenance tree is desired.

The broad green pinnate leaves cast light shade and turn an appealing yellow in autumn, while the tree's straight trunk and hard, dense wood give it enduring ornamental value. Pignut hickory works well as a specimen tree, in mixed hardwood groupings, or along property edges, and its nuts are attractive to wildlife. These bare root trees are shipped at roughly 12 inches in height and should be planted promptly on arrival.
