Occurrence
Hickory is native to the eastern part of the USA, from Ontario to Florida (but not South Florida) and in the west to Missouri, eastern Kansas and Texas.
Characteristic and wood color
Split pin and core sharply separated from each other. The sapwood is wide, up to 8 cm, and almost white. Heartwood reddish brown to dark brown, reminiscent of walnut. Very narrow annual rings: on 2.5 cm about 18 to 20 rings. Pores coarse, in early wood arranged to narrow rings, in late wood single. The wood is usually fine-grained and very shrinking, heavy to very heavy, hard, very elastic and tough. Hardness and weight depend mainly on the width of the annual rings.
