Trees that are sized by height or caliper are delivered with a large root ball wrapped in burlap. They require heavy equipment to install. We recommend working with a contractor for installation! They can also provide the equipment necessary for offloading the tree upon delivery. We will coordinate delivery with you so that your contractor has equipment ready upon your trees arrival! OR check the box below for ServeScape to provide offloading equipment for an additional fee.

Pignut Hickory is a large native deciduous tree with a straight trunk and rounded crown and grey bark that develops ridges as it ages.  The dark yellow-green compound leaves turn an attractive yellow in fall.  Non-showy gendered spring catkins can give way to husked nuts, but only starts producing after 25 years of age.  Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.  Generally intolerant of shade.  Heat and drought tolerant.

Carya glabra is a host plant for the Banded hairstreak butterfly, Luna Moth, and the Hickory Horned Devil.
