It makes an imposing shade or specimen tree for spacious yards, parks, and naturalized areas where it has room to mature. Its bold form and distinctive peeling bark give it strong year-round landscape interest.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis species grows slowly at first and develops a deep taproot, eventually becoming a tall, broad-crowned tree. The sweet, thick-shelled nuts are enjoyed by wildlife and can be gathered for culinary use. Plant in a permanent location with ample space, full sun, and well-drained soil; keep young trees watered during establishment. Its ornamental character and nut production make it a rewarding choice for large landscapes and edible plantings.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Carya laciniosa\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Shellbark Hickory\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Deciduous tree\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Large upright tree with a broad rounded crown\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, moist, fertile loam\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 5 to 8\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 30 to 50 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Slow to establish due to a deep taproot; choose a permanent site and water regularly while young\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67708771238198,"sku":"ANNISA-062","price":68.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8066100166_q89b.jpg?v=1791864873","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1-live-plant-shellbark-hickory-carya-laciniosa","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
