The Pignut hickory (Carya glabra) is a large tree that has a tall, but relatively narrow crown. The bark is tight rather than shaggy and in the fall, its color is golden. The nuts produced are bitter tasting.
Pignut Hickories were added to Pine Street Park in 2020 by Clinton Canopy, assisted by agriculture students from Clinton High School. This part of a PARD funded upgrade to the park. The trees were obtained from the SC Forestry Commission.
