We grow Hickories at Raemelton Farm :) Always seem to be mostly sold out as folks buy them before they're even big enough but I can put some on hold for spring 2023 if you need!
I have a very prolific bitternut hickory - the squirrels and chipmunks love the nuts --- I nibbled on one - man did it earn its name .... is there a way I can make use of the nuts - and I would be glad to send the nuts to anyone who wants to try to grow / sprout it
Like the video and the presentation style . Good video for plant nerds and botany enthusiasts. Thank you.
@21:55 pruning or tree tubes (more investment) should produce more trees with central leaders.
I would love to have a Hickory garden in my botanical garden but have a hard time finding them.

I wonder if the GA bud treatment affects the longevity of the tree any

The bitterness is apparently water soluble. I’ve read that you can make a nice oil by pressing bitternuts and none of the bitterness stays in the oil
They are said to give smoked meat a great aroma. Haven't tried it though
