Shagbark Hickory Tree
Nature nut!
Shagbark Hickory nut, note the thick husk to the right and left of the nut. Even though the husk is off the nut, the nut still has a thin
shell, kind of like a walnut. Some people say Shagbark Hickory nuts are rather sweet! People with nut allergies should NOT
attempt to eat this nut!
