Weschke Shagbark Hickory Seedling Bareroot

Species: Carya ovata

History: These are seedlings of Weschke Shagbark Hickories, a variety that was discovered in Iowa by Carl Weschke and named in 1926. It was selected for its excellent flavour. 

Why We Grow It: While these seedlings will vary from their parents, the goal is that the excellent qualities of Weschke Shagbark Hickories will be passed along to its offsping! Weshcke Shagbark Hickories are known for having excellent flavour and thin shells that are easier for cracking.
