5 Bare Root Pignut Hickory Trees Carya glabra 12 Inch Native Shade Tree
Pignut Hickory (Carya glabra) is a tall-growing North American native shade tree valued for its straight trunk, strong wood, and pinnate foliage that turns warm golden tones in autumn.
This bare root selection is a practical choice for native plantings, wildlife-friendly landscapes, and large yards where a long-lived, statuesque tree can mature. The nuts are thin-shelled and sought after by squirrels and other wildlife, while the wood and form make it a stately feature in a broad landscape planting.
