Hickory (from Powhatan) is a type of tree, comprising the genus Carya (Ancient Greek: ÎºÎ¬ÏÏÎ¿Î½ nut). The genus includes 17â19 species of deciduous trees with pinnately compound leaves and large nuts. Five or six species are native to China, Indochina, and India (State of Assam), as many as 12 are native to the United States, four are found in Mexico, and two to four are from Canada. Hickory flowers are small, yellow-green catkins produced in spring. They are wind-pollinated and self-incompatible. The fruit is a globose or oval nut, 2â5 cm (0.79â1.97 in) long and 1.5â3 cm (0.59â1.18 in) diameter, enclosed in a four-valved husk, which splits open at maturity.
