Bitternut Hickory S. The lighter colored shallow cracks in the younger bark are roughly similar to those of young Shagbark Hickory, but the mature bark of Yellow-bud Hickory does not split so deeply. The yellow bud makes it difficult to mistake for another species and combined with the alternate compound leaves and relatively large nuts, it is very distinctive. Bitternut Hickory trees are known for their hard wood. The wood is used for pulpwood and furniture. The fall color is often green to chartruese, but sometimes is a brilliant golden-yellow in excellent seasons. The nuts are reported to be bitter, as one of the common names suggests. This deciduous tree is found on moist, fertile soils in the east and central U. The Bittenut Hickory, Carya cordiformis, is also known as the Yellow-bud Hickory tree. |
