Hickories are so great! My favorite - of the real hickories, not the pecans, is the Shellbark hickory. Their nutmeats are really big! And tasty! So worth gathering. Here in the Northwest, they aren't native, but I can find them in towns. I'm glad of that!
Here's some pictures of the Shellbark Hickory: Steemit Iron Chef - Wild About Wild Nuts.
Nice! I'm glad you are able to get to enjoy them! I wish it was easier to tell the different ones apart. I'd love to actually identify which hickory I have. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting and all that! I really appreciate it. :)
