Description
Carya ovalis
The Red Hickory is a medium to large tree native to North America, known for its tough, reddish-brown wood and edible nuts. The tree’s bark is smooth when young but becomes furrowed with age. The nuts are bitter and primarily consumed by wildlife, though they can be processed for human consumption. Red Hickory thrives in well-drained, rich soils and is often found in hardwood forests. The wood is highly valued for its strength and durability, making it ideal for tool handles, furniture, and firewood.
