Korean Pine is an attractive conifer suitable for shelterbelts, privacy screens, and ornamental planting. This tree is especially prized for its pine nuts. Korean Pine nuts are larger than most other species. They can be used in salads, pesto sauce, and other foods.
This conifer is generally tolerant of urban conditions but much prefers cool summer climates.
Bitternut Hickory is a large deciduous tree that makes a great shade tree for yards and parks. This tree is native to Eastern North America. Although it produces nuts, they are bitter and inedible. Some consider this wood to be the best flavour for smoking meats.
Plant Bitternut Hickory in it’s forever home. It is difficult to transplant due to its long taproot, and may not survive.
The wood is strong and has historically been used for wheels, ladders, and furniture.
