Field Notes
Description:
This small series shows the growth of a young Mockernut Hickory over a period of only four days. Fewer than 24 hours separate the first and second photos ... the bud exploded overnight, I think it must have happened with a sudden "pop" ... wish I had seen that moment.
Habitat:
Suburban yard .. "volunteer" tree.
Notes:
Probably the most common hickory in the Southeast U.S., Mockernut is also called White Hickory and Whiteheart Hickory. Also designated Carya alba ... don't know why the two scientific names.
