The
Scrub Hickory (
Carya floridana, syn.
Hicoria floridana) is a tree native to the southeastern
United States, where it's
endemic in central
Florida.
Although it can grow to the height of 25 meters, many specimens are seen as shrubs 3-5 m tall with many small trunks. The
leaves are 20-30 cm long, pinnate, with three to seven leaflets, each leaflet 4-10 cm long and 2-4 cm broad, with a coarsely toothed margin. The
fruit is a
nut 3-4 cm long and 2-2.5 cm diameter, with a thick, hard shell and a sweet, edible
seed.
It is geographically separated form the similar
Black Hickory (
Carya texana). The Scrub Hickory intergrades with the
Pignut Hickory (
Carya glabra) where ranges overlap.
The seeds require
stratification to germinate.
