The Hickory-Pecan plant catalog
These are seedlings from our multi-species Hickory-Pecan trees, containing genetics from pecan, shagbark hickory, and bitternut hickory. Most of the nuts taste like a good pecan, quite a few taste like an excellent black walnut, and a few will have that sought-after wild hickory taste. Nearly all shells are thin enough to crack with a hand cracker. We will eventually be putting together an info section and further documentation for these plants. In the meantime, however, we do have some existing documentation: The Trickory page in the blog, and some mention in the 2007 Field Day press release.

NeoHybrid Hickory-Pecan Tubelings
Please see What is a Tubeling? if you are not familiar with this term.
Hardy with test winters of -40F (that's 40 below 0). The hickories are much less tested than our other stock, mostly due to long generation time. We ship from our best producers, some of which bear heavy annual crops. Parenting ability of these trees is as yet untested, however.
Though we do not yet have enough data to offer our survival guarantee on these plants, initial results with our customers' plantings have been positive. Please keep in mind that hickories will tend to put nearly all their energy into the root in the first couple of years, and under most conditions the top will look puny while the root gets massive.

Hickory Seed
N\ow taking orders for seed from the 2025 harvest
For the first time in over 20 years, we're offering chestnuts for seed. If you've got the facilities to safely keep these nuts in cold storage, and can get them going while providing effective protection against the massive array of nut eating pests, these could work for you.
That said, please read why we haven't sold seed for the past twenty years! There are really a lot of things that regularly go wrong; mostly they get eaten by mice.
Seed nuts are currently:
• -Only available as "Standard" genetics.
• -Must be ordered by September 15.
• -Shipped in late November, without having been given cold hours. You will need to keep them moist and cool without freezing in order to allow germination in the spring.
• -Not guaranteed to germinate, since we cannot control your storage conditions over the winter.
• -Not shipped at any other time of year, since our facilities get the nuts germinating in February, when it is too cold to ship actively germinating seed.
• -Subject to the same quarantines as the plants.
Seed is sold on a "viable at shipping" basis. If you order 100 nuts, we will send you enough nuts that you will get at least 100 that are alive when we ship them. If they are treated well over the winter, you could expect 70%-90% of these to germinate.
SD-Hick Standard Hickory Seed 1–100: $2.00 ea

Supplies are limited, and our unique plant survival guarantee does not yet apply to these unique plants.
