I have 3 varieties of shagbark available this year. Their descriptions are below.
These are first year seedlings in the range of 1' tall. Since these are taprooting trees, it is preferable for the tree to be transplanted very small to promote root health. All seedlings are shipped dormant as bare roots.
Seedling Shagbark Hickory: Ithaca
Carya ovata
Seed source: Buzz Ferver, Perfect Circle Farm
Buzz's description: A great roadside find just outside of Ithaca NY. Thin shelled and easy cracking. Better quality nut the many of the named cultivars. Beautiful tree!
Seedling Shagbark Hickory: Grainger
Carya ovata
Seed source: Buzz Ferver, Perfect Circle Farm
Seed description: The mother tree of these seedlings is a Grainger cultivar. The ortet of Grainger was located in and named for Grainger County, Tennessee. The parent cultivar to these seedlings is described as "Nuts thin-shelled and high-flavored. Bears heavily every other year."
Seedling Shagbark Hickory: Wild
Carya ovata

Seed description: These were collected from wild type trees in Augusta County, Virginia.

Shipping or Pickup Info
You will receive an email when plants begin shipping. This will be once they go dormant for the winter in early November. Local pickup orders will also receive an email with the potential pickup dates when we get closer because this depends on the weather.
