hickory bark

Hardwood tree covering

The bark of hickory trees, a rough, shaggy outer covering that peels in long strips on some species.

Hickory bark has traditional uses in smoking meat, where it imparts a distinctive flavor, and in folk medicine and basket weaving.

Hickory bark gives the bacon that smoky taste.
