A single trunk canker near the base is a sign that the butt log is badly infected, and multiple cankers are evidence that the entire tree may be a cull. Cankers vary in size and appearance depending on their age. Pignut hickory is easily damaged by fire, which causes stem degrade or loss of volume, or both. The hickory is particularly beautiful when winter buds open in late spring; the bud scales fold back, petal-like, as new foliage emerges. At other times, damage may be confined to the killing of a single tree or to portions of the tops of trees. Carya Nutt. Martin, A. C., H. S. Zim, and A. L. Nelson. USDA Forest Service, Bulletin 80.

It is present throughout almost all of Illinois, most frequently on wooded slopes. It forms an irregular crown, and its green, compound leaves turn brilliant shades of yellow in fall. Because the range of pignut hickory is so extensive, it is not feasible to list the associated trees, shrubs, herbs, and grasses, which vary according to elevation, topographic conditions, edaphic features, and geographic locality. Nuts and bark are eaten by black bears, foxes, rabbits, and raccoons. Pignut makes up much of the hickory harvested in Kentucky, West Virginia, the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee, and the hill country of the Ohio Valley. The leaves are pinnately compound, alternately arranged, and deciduous. The relationships may be more complex after a long and reticulate phylogeny, according to detailed chemical analyses of hickory nut oils. A., and S. F. Gingrich. Part of the species range in peninsular Florida is classed as subhumid, mesothermal. It is thick-walled, unridged, and encased in a thin husk that only splits half way open.

The nuts are disseminated mainly by gravity, but the range of seeding is extended by squirrels and chipmunks. Stump sprouting is not as prolific as in other deciduous trees species but the sprouts that are produced are vigorous and grow fairly rapidly in height. The range of pignut hickory covers nearly all of eastern United States (11). Hickories exhibit embryo dormancy which is overcome naturally by overwintering in the duff and litter or artificially by stratification in a moist medium at 1° to 4 °C (33° to 40 °F) for 30 to 150 days. p. 66-69.

It recolonizes abandoned strip mines in Maryland and West Virginia. Relatives of the pignut hickory include the pecan and black walnut. Internal discolorations called mineral streak are common and are one major reason why so few standing hickories meet trade specifications. It has a long, clear bole that spreads into a narrow, oblong crown. The seed is small and usually sweet. Diseases of forest and shade trees of the United States. That part of the range lying north of the Ohio River is designated humid, mesothermal.

The twigs are stout, reddish-brown, and glabrous. 76 Shortleaf Pine-Oak However, many trees are intermediate in this trait, and the recorded ranges are almost the same. The wood also makes excellent fuel and the nuts are edible. 45 Pitch Pine The hickory bark beetle (Scolytus quadrispinosus) is the most important insect enemy of hickory, and also one of the most important insect pests of hardwoods in the Eastern United States. Tree volume tables are available (2,19). The hickories grow in mixture with other hardwoods in deep fertile soils. The nuts and bark provide food to many kinds of wildlife. This association is dominated by pignut hickory with an importance value of 41.0 (maximum value = 300), northern red oak (36.0), and chestnut oak (25.0). Taproots may develop in compact and stony soils. The growing season varies by latitude and elevation from 140 to 300 days. Silvics of North America. The stem canker (Nectria galligena) produces depressed areas with concentric bark rings that develop on the trunk and branches. Husks of pignut hickory split only to the middle or slightly beyond and generally cling to the nut, which is unribbed, with a thick shell. In winter its open habit and bark are of interest. It also grows north of the Gulf Coast through Alabama, Mississippi north to Missouri and extreme southeastern Iowa, and the Lower Peninsula of Michigan . These soils are derived from a variety of parent materials-sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, glacial till, and in places varying thickness of loess-which vary in age from Precambrian to Quaternary. It ranges from Ontario to central Florida and from the east coast to the Mississippi River from southern Michigan to Mississippi. The binomial C. ovalis (Wangenh.) It does however have a limited range and is restricted to the Niagara Peninsula, southern Halton Region, the Hamilton In much of the area covered by mixed oak forests, shade-tolerant hardwoods (including the hickories) are climax, and the trend of succession toward this climax is very strong. GENERAL BOTANICAL CHARACTERISTICS : Pignut hickory is a slow-growing deciduous tree which reaches 65 to 98 feet (20-30 m) in height and 11 to 39 inches (30-100 cm) in diameter [10,17,27,54].
