Carya glabra
The Pignut Hickory is a medium to large tree native to North America, known for its sturdy, dense wood and small, edible nuts. The nuts, though bitter, are eaten by wildlife and occasionally by humans after proper preparation. The tree has a distinctive grayish-brown bark and bright green leaves that turn yellow in fall. Pignut Hickory thrives in well-drained soils and is commonly found in hardwood forests. Its wood is prized for its strength and is often used in tool handles, furniture, and as firewood.
