The Mockernut Hickory is a large, native tree known for its thick, rugged bark and tough, high-quality wood. Its nuts are relatively large but difficult to crack, with a bitter taste that is mainly enjoyed by wildlife. The tree thrives in well-drained, rich soils and is commonly found in hardwood forests across eastern North America. The Mockernut Hickory wood is highly valued for its strength and durability, making it ideal for tool handles, furniture, and firewood. It also features dark green, pinnately compound leaves that turn yellow in the fall.
