 These Shellbark hickory trees are grown from seed and are native to much of the USA, especially here in our state of Missouri. They grow delicious hickory nuts that drop in the fall. This hickory tree grows some of the best-tasting hickory nuts there are. This produces the LARGEST hickory nuts out of all the hickory trees. These are beautiful trees that grow quickly once established, they can be used as shade trees, that also have great value to wildlife from the hickory nuts they produce. The Shellbark Hickory is a high-branching tree with a straight, slender trunk and a narrow, oblong crown. It's a sturdy tree with shaggy bark. The nuts are large and sweet. The tree will bear nuts in 10-12 years and bears annually.

The roots will be carefully removed from the pot they are growing in, and then wrapped in moist material with the roots sealed up to keep them moist during transit.

Very happy with my Shellbark Hickory Tree

After having purchased from two other mail order/web companies, I had almost given up on successfully planting a hickory seedling. Then I came across Weaver Family Farm website and thought I would try a final time. So happy I did! It is doing very well and I have already made another purchase. I am a very happy customer - THANKS!

Thank you very much! We appreciate your repeat business! Happy it is doing well for you.

Small nurseries rock. Big ones suck

For years we have purchased from the large nurseries. Not going to name any... but their customer service always sucks and they don’t take very good care of the plants they send you for lots of money. A year ago I took the chance to buy two trees from the weavers family farm nursery here and was pleasantly surprised. They did a great job packing the tree. The care paper they send with them is helpful, got some tips no one has ever told us before, and their plants are very nice for a very fair price. From now on you have our family’s business! Thanks for caring and doing a great job

Thank you very much! We appreciate you! Thank you for supporting our small family business! God Bless

Hickory nut tree

We love hickory nuts and always wanted our own hickory nut tree. I really hope it will grow here as we haven’t seen any hickory trees anywhere near us. We are giving it a try though! Planted three from the Weavers Good looking trees

I’m not sure what zone you are in down there but these can handle heat up to zone 8 typically fine. Thanks!
