https://flic.kr/p/ej59fM | Mockernut Hickory Bark | I've probably walked past this Mockernut Hickory (Carya tomentosa) at Johnston Mill Preserve a hundred times thinking that the bark pattern was really neat, so I finally decided to take a photo of it. Given all of the splashy Spring colors this seems more appropriate as a wintery subject, but here 'tis. This strong patterning is typically found only near the base of the trunk.

Types Of Hickory Tree Bark

Shagbark Hickory (Carya ovata) is a stately native tree known for its striking, peeling bark and nutrient-rich nuts that support both wildlife and foragers. With golden fall foliage and strong, resilient wood, it's a beloved choice for legacy plantings, native restoration, and edible landscapes. This hardy, long-lived species thrives in a wide range of soils and offers multi-season interest--from its unique bark and yellow autumn leaves to the sweet, high-fat nuts cherished by squirrels, deer, and humans alike. It's a true North American classic, valued by Indigenous peoples, early settlers, and modern homesteaders. Botanical Name: Carya ovata Stratification: Required (90-120 days cold stratification) USDA Zones: 4-9 Soil: Moist, well-drained soil; tolerant of loam, clay, and rocky soils L
