About
Pignut Hickory Trees: The firm, gray bark, sometimes
smooth, also may be marked in a sort of diamond pattern by shallow
furrows and narrow ridges. This tree grows well in fairly rich, well
drained to dry soils. It occurs with other hickories and with oaks,
characteristically on hillsides and ridges.
