'Pawnee' bears sizable crops of flavorful nuts weeks earlier than most other cultivars, thus making it a good choice for areas with a relatively short growing season. It performs well into the upper reaches of the South-Central and Southeast U.S.

The gray bark divides into large plates, which detach and curl back from the trunk at their tips, giving it a shaggy appearance.
The compound leaves of shagbark hickory are divided into 5 glossy lance-shaped yellow-green leaflets, with one leaflet at the tip and the...
