7 Δεκ 2021 · Bitternut Hickory (Carya cordiformis) is a medium to a large deciduous tree that is native to Eastern North America, the best growth in moist valleys. It is also called Swamp hickory. There are over 16 species of hickory, and they share some similar characteristics.
In addition to nut production issues, hickory trees can also be affected by pests and diseases. One common pest that affects hickory trees is the hickory bark beetle, which can bore into the tree and cause damage to the bark. The hickory shuckworm is another pest that feeds on the nuts and can reduce the tree's nut crop.
Bitternut hickory is commonly found in low, wet areas, but it can also grow in dry upland sites. The gray-green bark has tight narrow ridges which become scaly on older bark. The bright yellow terminal buds are showy in winter. The alternate, compound leaves have 7 to 11 lance-shaped leaflets.
In Illinois, Bitternut Hickory can be distinguished from other hickory trees by its bright sulfur-yellow buds, which are covered by a powdery coating. It also has smaller fruits (husked nuts) than most hickory trees. Its nuts are rounded rather than angular, and they have large terminal beaks.
