Carya cordiformis Juglandaceae

The relatively slender-growing Carya cordiformis is a large tree with a continuous heart branch. Initially, the tree has a conical crown, which later becomes broadly oval, more open and with a rounded top. The bark is initially smooth, but after a few years it will develop narrow grooves with a pinkish to orange sheen. Later in life, the bark is clearly interlaced with long, narrow ridges. The male flowering catkins can be up to 15 cm long, forming a nice ornamental feature in May. As with all Carya, C. cordiformis does not produce fruit until later in life. The green husks contain heart-shaped nuts with pointed tips. The nuts are very bitter and therefore unsuitable for consumption.
The tree is suitable for application to all soil types and tolerates a pH of up to 7.5, although some deficiency symptoms will occur. C. cordiformis is very hardy and prefers wetter soils. Nevertheless, it also tolerates drought well. It is a deep-rooting tree, which makes transplanting later in life more difficult. Forms no water locks and its relatively narrow crown makes it suitable as avenue tree. Once planted, the tree will grow rather slowly in the first few years but after that it is a fast-growing tree.
