One of the best tasting nuts around, that is, if you can beat the squirrels to it. Nuts are attractive to a variety of wildlife. It grows best, in the wild and in a nursery environment, if it has a fair amount of shade early in its development. Without the shade it is a very slow growing plant. Even with shade, it grows slowly at a clip of 6” to 8” per year. The shaggy bark takes years to develop. Fall color is yellow.
