shagbark
Rough-barked nut tree
Shagbark is a North American hickory tree with distinctive bark that peels away in long, rough strips, giving the trunk a shaggy appearance.
The tree produces edible nuts prized for their sweet flavor: shagbark hickory nuts.
The wood is dense and valued for smoking meat and making tool handles.
