THE AMERICAN SHAGBARK HICKORY 



This Shagbark (C. ovata), grown at Morenci, Michigan, is a good specimen of this type of 

 tree! and\as attained a height of more than 45 feet. The rather common oblong shape 

 of the crown is very noticeable here, the outUne of the tree bemg quite '-fg^'^^^^xcept /"r 

 a few stray branches. As may be seen, the trunk is straighter and more slender than would 

 be e^ptted in a tree of such size. The name of th^e variety is suggestive of the rough- 

 ness of the trunk. Photograph by courtesy of U. S. Forest service. (Fig. \6.)
