Next to Pecan, this hickory’s nuts are considered the tastiest of the Hickories – slightly better than Shagbark Hickory. The nuts are also larger than those of Shagbark – indeed they are the largest nuts of all the hickories. In the Catskills, Shagbark nuts can be collected in the wild – the tree is fairly common. To get a taste of Shellbark Hickory in the Catskills though you’ll have to plant one – in New York this species is only found in the Finger Lakes region. Shellbark tends to prefer a moister soil than Shagbark so avoid planting on hot, dry sites.
