Hickory Trees

Hickory Trees are native to North America and very easy to grow. Hickory wood is very strong making it versatile as a building material. The Hickory nut shell provides strong protection and is thicker than most nuts. Hickory trees are pollinated by wind and require cross pollination to bear fruit.

Hickory nuts were harvested by the early American Indians who crushed the hickory nuts to get the oil from which many foods were cook in, such as cornbread and corncakes. Buy your Hickory Trees from the TyTy Nursery today.


Guy standing next to a Hickory tree

William Bartram documented in 1773 that he saw 100 bushels of shagbark hickory nuts that were stored at just a single Indian family home.


Man holding 5 hickory nuts

The hickory nuts were pounded into a mash, and then boiled in water, where a white, oily liquid separated, called 'hickory milk.' The liquid was described to be as sweet and rich as a fresh cream and was an active ingredient used by the Indians in cooking corn bread and hominy grits. Many such productive hickory groves occur along tidal creeks in Coastal Georgia, a few are left intact by land developers for the recreational value of the trees and the food value of the hickory nuts that are gathered at one such Episcopal camp near Brunswick, Georgia along a tidal basin aquifer 'Honeycreek,' a tributary of the Satilla River.

Nut Cracking Terrorists

There remains some question whether or not the Indians near Augusta on the Altamaha River hickory groves as described by William Bartram were actually planted as orchard trees or just harvested at a naturally located site.
