The Mockernut Hickory tree Carya tomentosa is also called a White Hickory Whiteheart Hickory Hognut and Bullnut.The gray bark of this tree is marked with branching ridges and deep furrows. Mockernut hickory is so named because the nuts are large but with thick shells and very small kernels. The twigs are stout and reddish-brown to grayish-brown in color. The unusually small kernels from the nuts are sweet and edible. This and the other hickories are very desirable both for forest and shade trees. |
