Shagbark Hickory
caryer ovale
Carya ovata
Hickories are prized native trees in the North American forest, and Shagbark is one of the best of the hickory genus for its appearance and form. Although it generally grows south of the US border, isolated stands of Shagbark Hickory have been found in places near Ottawa. This species has a straight trunk and shapely crown, and mature trees have the interesting bark feature that gives them their name. Shagbark Hickory can reach 25 metres in height. This tree is located in the northern part of the Arboretum, about 20 metres east of the north path and about 100 metres south of the Prince of Wales crosswalk.
