Since it's been two days...



1. Scientific name?
2. One other name for this tree
3. Where did its name come from? Hint: What did American Indians use it for?

[havenguy]

1. Carya ovata
2. Shagbark Hickory
3. The American Indians ate it. They word "hickory" is said to have come from "pawcohiccora".
Shagbark probably comes from it's unique bark.

Yup, though by other name I meant a nick name such as shell bark hickory, but I think that's good enough! Your turn.
