Unlike most species in the Juglans genus, the Heartnut keeps green leaves late into fall. These trees haven’t been the hardiest, and only 2 out of 5 remain.

Corylus Fargesii Bark
The bark on my Corylus Fargesii is already showing the ornamental appeal. This tree’s common name is Paperbark Hazel.
Different Walnuts
I got some nuts of three different Juglans species that I will be planting this spring. I think squirrels wouldn’t mind a few more nut trees growing. From Left to Right: Juglans mandshurica, Juglans hindsii, Juglans cathayensis
Shaggy
Always interesting to cross paths with these trees. The Shagbark Hickory(Carya ovata) is native to my part of Iowa and the nuts taste great. One other Hickory is native to here, that is the Bitternut Hickory and I prefer to not eat those nuts.
