MASSACHUSETTS FOREST TREES SHAGBARK (Hicoria ovata Britton) GROWING in rich, deep soil near streams and on fertile hillsides, the Shagbark is of common occur- rence throughout the State. The tallest of the Hickories, it has the characteristic habit of the group, a tapering trunk destitute of branches for a considerable distance and a cylindrical head of relatively narrow spread. Usually it attains a height of fifty to seventy-five feet and a trunk diam- eter not exceeding two feet. The bark on ...the trunk is light gray, sep- arating into thick plates often a foot long. When these are only slightly attached, they give to the trunk a shaggy appear- ance in which is the sig- nificance of the popular term Shagbark Hickory. The leaves are alternate, com- pound, from eight to fifteen inches lon*g and com- posed of five, rarely seven leaflets. The fruit is borne singly or in pairs and is globular. The husk is deeply grooved at the seams. The kernel is sweet. The wood is heavy, hard, tough and very strong.
