Hickory Nuts 
There is marked variation in the size, form, and qualily 
of the nuts of different hickory trees, even when growing in the 
same neighborhood. Thus their is good opportunity for selective 
breeding, but unfortunately the hickory is of such slow growth 
that few experimenters have the courage to undertake ifs 
development. The hickory does not ordinarily 
bear nuls until it is ten or twelve years old.
