There are two basic kinds of hickory trees, shagbark and pignut. I didn't know thiswhen l posted a photo of the nuts a few days ago but I learned the trees in my yard are pignut hickory. Here is a picture of the leaves and bark as several people were curious about the leaves especially. I like the bark for Joe Muli's texture Thursday challenge
Well, there's my "you learn something new everyday" item for today! I was only familiar with the Shagbark Hickory before this too. Good texture on that bark!
The squirrels in our city park are going crazy over hickory nuts (according to a friend of mine). Now I need to find out what kind of hickory. This might stump her.
Pignut Hickory? Thanks. I learned something new. Do the Pignut Hickory nuts appeal to Grunt and Suie? On some web site I found this: “In the past, Pignut Hickory nuts were commonly part of the annual diet of hogs.” you should check that out! Your little pigs could subsist for quite a while on a small supply of those nuts.
@olivetreeann glad to enlighten you thanks @shutterbug49 I thought so too Debbie Thanks @summerfield I didn't know you were a tree hugger! Generally they don't grow in Ontario @louannwarren thyanks Lou Ann. It does have lots of texture doesn't it? @dutchothotmailcom thank you Esther. You are right and I have lived here for 30 years and didn't know this until now @ludwigsdiana I am so glad you like it Daian thanks @sdutoit Thanks for the FAV Sylvia glad you like it @randystreat It was hard to make the tree look interesting. I hoped the light would do that. Thank you Kathy @linnypinny I appreciate that Lin since that was the goal with this one @tunia be sure to let me know what you find out? @mcsiegle I almost mentioned something about that but was short of time because I was leaving to see one of my granddaughters at a football game (she is a trainer) so I went with simple . I wil have to ask them what they think about that!
