, apparently a tree known to Elwes & Henry (1908), measured at 17.5 m × 92 cm in 2016, and one at Hollycombe, West Sussex (29.5 m × 45 cm in 2018 – The Tree Register 2019).
In continental Europe, this species is recorded quite widely from Belgium and The Netherlands east to Belarus, with good specimens in the park around the Kasteel Vilain XIIII, Leut, Belgium (26 m in 2016) and in the rather mild climate of the Dendrological Garden at Glinna, north west Poland (31 m in 2015, a beautifully formed tree – monumentaltrees.com 2019). Two wild origin specimens from a 1970 accession are well established at Gothenburg Botanical Garden, Sweden (Gothenburg Botanical Garden 2019). Outside its natural range in North America, the Shagbark Hickory can be grown in the Pacific Northwest, with examples in the Hoyt Arboretum, Portland, OR and the University of British Columbia Botanical Garden (Hoyt Arboretum 2019; University of British Columbia 2019).
Over 130 ‘cultivars’ have been named, but many of these names were simply labels given to individuals singled out for their nut qualities; few have ever been propagated, and many no longer exist. Selection has focused on yield, cracking quality and kernel size, but a dual focus on timber and nuts would be beneficial (Grauke 2003). Where cultivars have been propagated, this is sometimes merely by seed, but increasingly by grafting. In southern Ontario, Grimo Nut Nursery (2019) finds Pecan a better rootstock than C. ovata itself. Male and female flowers are usually fertile at different times, even though cultivars are not usually described as protandrous or protogynous. Planting two or more varieties together is the norm, a minimum of three where one is male-sterile. Here we list a few cultivars suitable for more northerly areas, which are available from nurseries on both sides of the Atlantic.

Introduced in 1934 by John Hershey, Dowingtown, Pennslyvania. from a farm in Grainger County, Tennessee. It suits colder northern areas and is reported to be very tolerant of alkaline soils. Nuts are very large, approaching the size of a Shellbark, tend to fall free of the husk and crack well. It is a good pollinator for other Shagbark varieties (Crawford 2016; Grauke 2019; Grimo Nut Nursery 2019, De Smallekamp 2019).
A northern variety, originating near Waterford in the far south of Ontario, ‘Neilson’ is suitable for colder areas. It is precocious, regular and very early fruiting but is male-sterile, so another pollinator (and perhaps a third to pollinate the pollinator!) is absolutely necessary for nut production. Nuts are medium to large, crack fairly well and tend to fall free of the husk. Named in 1934 by J.H. Corsan for Jas Neilson of Waterford (Crawford 2016; Grauke 2019; Grimo Nut Nursery 2019).
Carya carolinae-septentrionalis (Ashe) Engl. & Graebn.
Var. australis has slender, glabrous branchlets that turn black when they fall. Terminal buds reddish-brown to black and largely glabrous. Leaves 20–30 cm long; leaflets 4–19 × 1–6.5 cm. Male catkins to 6 cm long. Fruits 2.5–3 cm long and wide. In comparison, the nominate var. ovata has stout, hirsute branchlets that retain their colour when they fall. Terminal buds tan to dark brown and tomentose. Leaves 30–60 cm long; leaflets 6–26 × 3–14 cm. Male catkins to 13 cm long. Fruits 3.5–4 cm long and wide (Stone & Whittemore 1997; Schaarschmidt 2002).

Carya ovata var. australis is occasionally found in American collections, including one very fine umbrageous specimen at the Morris Arboretum, Pennsylvania (labelled Carya carolinae-septentrionalis), planted by John Morris some time between 1887 and 1915. This tree was measured at 30 m × 92 cm (2009). A seedling from it is growing at Wakehurst and is the UK champion, measured at 5 m tall in 2018 (The Tree Register 2019). The bark of the parent swirls in longitudinal plates and fissures, and is in itself a complete justification for planting it, never mind its other fine qualities such as turning gold in autumn (Grimshaw & Bayton 2009).
A second variety, var. mexicana (Hemsley) W.E. Manning is confined to Mexico and appears to be grown only at the Mediterranean-climate margin of our area at the University of California Botanical Garden, Berkeley (University of California Botanical Garden 2019).
Selected by Carl Weschcke of Wisconsin in 1926 from a tree in Fayette, Iowa, this is a suitable variety for colder northern areas. It is both precocious and early ripening, a productive annual bearer, but is male sterile. As a result a minimum of two other cultivars should be planted alongside it to ensure pollination for all three trees. The nut is relatively small but thin shelled; it is among the best for releasing the kernel easily in two neat pieces (Crawford 2016; Grauke 2019; Grimo Nut Nursery 2019, De Smallekamp 2019).
Selected by Emmet Yoder in Smithfield, Ohio, this is a variety for northern areas, but perhaps not the very coldest. Precocious and cropping heavily in about two out of three years, it is usually one of the later varieties to ripen. It is fully fertile and hence a good pollinator for the choice but male-sterile forms. The medium-sized nuts crack well (Crawford 2016; Grauke 2019; Grimo Nut Nursery 2019; De Smallekamp 2019).I believe it's Griffin's intention to make early goofs serious parts of the game. Take the elevator thing from Petals. Everyone said "elevators can't exist in this world." So what does he do? He makes one of the supporting antagonists in Crystal Kingdom the descendent of the man who invented elevators, and puts in a whole reference to the "plane of thought" which doesn't exist in normal DnD. 

It may have been up to a roll in the moment, but I think it's fair to say that the action of Taako taking the staff was indicative of something else at this point.I am not confident using people's names and generally avoid it. I once introduced my wife to a friend of mine and called her Lori which wasn't even close to her name. No idea where it came from. Of course my wife wanted to know who Lori was. I'd only known 2 Loris in my life, that I could remember and both of them were high school classmates from 25 years earlier and I wasn't even close to them.

I never got over it. I have read about tricks sales people use to remember names. Things like repeating a person's name as soon as you hear it. For example "this is Tim" "Hi, glad to meet you Tim." Unfortunately as soon as I hear "this is Tim" I'm super focused on repeating "Tim Tim Tim Tim" in my mind as I say "Hi, glad to meet you..." that be then I've been thinking "Tim sounds like tin. I like tin. What a great looking metal" and then "Mike" comes out because it sounds like "metal" to me. To combat that I try instead to say "Tim, glad to meet you." But that doesn't work very well either. As soon as I hear a name, before even done hearing it, it gets jumbled. 

Part of my issue is I really don't care about names. And people who insist on using creative spelling or insist on unique pronunciations to make themselves more interesting I find pretty boring.
