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. The tree can reach 25 metres in height. This tree is located next to a donor bench along the pathway, about 80 meters SE of the intersection of the path with another pathway.
