Shagbark Hickory
Description
Its trunk appears shaggy due to long, vertical, flat, loose plates of bark. The nuts are delicious and somewhat like pecan, but with very hard shells and thick four-sectioned husks. The compound leaves have five leaflets. Its hard, close-grained wood is used for tool handles, interior finishing, and athletic equipment.
