I should reply that the chestnut leads the list, followed closely by the mockernut hickory. |
Just inside the funnel, I found a heavily used trail and a mature mockernut hickory tree 15 yards from it. |
This makes it of value for there are few of our named hickories that will do well when grafted on the mockernut. |
The Shellbark Hickory, Carya laciniosa, with its shaggy bark, and the Mockernut Hickory, Carya tomentosa, are two hickory trees that have excellent fall color. |
In 1933 I top-worked a mockernut with ten grafts of the Barnes. |
One graft of Fox on mockernut lived and has continued to grow fairly well. |
