Propagate from seed. Culture Preserve in landscape if it is found on the property. Coastal Ecology Red hickory grows on dry, upland soils in the maritime forest, with a more restricted ecological range than its close relative Carya glabra, pignut hickory. The nuts are sweet and serve as a food for wildlife. Trees of the Maritime Forest, Alice B. Russell Department of Horticultural Science, North Carolina State University. All Pictures ©1997Alice B.

Red Hickory (Carya ovalis) Plantae>Magnoliophyta>Magnoliopsida>Juglandales>Juglandaceae>Carya ovalis (Wangenh.) Sarg. Red (or Sweet Pignut) Hickory is an occasional medium-large tree. Similar to Pignut Hickory (C. glabra) , but the leaves usually have 7 leaflets instead of 5, are pubescent beneath instead of glabrous, and have red petioles instead of green. Petiole bases are red. Buds are similar to those of the closely related Sand Hickory (C. pallida) , but without golden-colored glands.
