Hickory in the park

Here we go again... :D

Do any exist in the north country?

Maps for common species in the rest of NY show them absent in Tug Hill and Adirondack regions.

Closely associated with Oaks (and the defunct American Chestnut) in growing habitat, this seems to be a thing. I'd assume they can hang in lower elevations, drier climate of the southwestern regions?

I've never once noticed one, but haven't done much looking.

In western FLR, from what I've seen not much or any mast from the Oaks this year, but the Hickory are producing some, if not abundant in some cases. I'd assume Hickory mast to be pretty important when the Oaks fail.

Having really taken notice of them this year, they have some of the best fall color really. Almost as good as maples.
