Narrative
The genus Carya, belonging to the Juglandaceae family, comprises approximately 23 species and hybrids in North America that are typically medium to large trees, rarely shrubs. The native distribution of C. glabra includes mostly the eastern half of the U.S., with northern limits stretching into southern Michigan with western limits touching the eastern Iowa border. Pecans, C. illinoinensis, are economically important due to their utilization via nut production for human consumption, while the true hickories are extremely valuable for wildlife, wood working, and of course providing that “hickory-smoke” flavor to meats. C. glabra meats are not known for being consumed via humans, but are attractive to various birds and animals. Their presence is likely lacking in the human diet due to the difficulty in extracting the meats. Notable ornamental characteristics include newly emerging foliage that resembles a flower, and yellow/brown fall color. Foliage is typically very clean with little to no foliar diseases. Carya are not a commonly planted species via the nursery trade largely due to the presence of an extensive taproot system that makes transplanting difficult. While the average homeowner may claim “nuts” in the landscape are an undesirable trait or a nuisance, attention should be turned to the benefits of nuts in the landscape. Generally it is difficult to find nuts on the ground as wildlife quickly eat and gather them. Hickories tend to be labeled as “slow growing”, which is definitely not true. Carya are only slow growing during the first few years of establishment as growth is focused on root growth. Shortly after establishment, growth on a properly planted Carya can be considered extremely vigorous with annual growth easily surpassing two to three feet per year. All Carya are noted for being extremely drought tolerant, while C. illinoinensis, C. cordiformis, C. acquatica, and C. laciniosa are also flood tolerant. This species is adapted to extremely dry soils and should not be planted in wet soils.

NC7 Trials Plant Description

  • Description Of NC7 Ornamental Trials: The NC-7 Regional Ornamental Plant Trials, began in 1954 through the efforts of a small group of dedicated horticulturists under the leadership of Professor S.A. McCrory of South Dakota State College (now University). The north central United States is a region of climatic extremes, and many parts of the region have alkaline soils that developed under grasslands. Because of these conditions, the diversity found in commercially available woody plants adapted to the area is less than that found in most other parts of our nation. The NC-7 Regional Ornamental Plant Trials were started with the ultimate goal of expanding the range of useful plants in the nursery trade. The emphasis in this program has been placed on detailed, long-term evaluations at a broad range of sites rather than on promotion of new plants. The NC-7 Trials rely on a network of horticultural cooperators located at sites scattered across the Central United States. Cooperators establish plantings, observe and evaluate the plants through the seasons, and prepare performance reports one, five, and ten years after planting. These reports are sent to the North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station (NCRPIS) in Ames, Iowa where they are recorded. Because of the broad range of environments found among the trial sites, it is unusual for any particular trial plant to perform well at a majority of the sites, making system-wide releases difficult. However, when plants perform especially well at sites, the NCRPIS Horticulturist assists trial site cooperators in introducing the new plants, with any official releases initiated through the cooperators' institutions rather than through the Plant Introduction Station.
