Mr. Jones has also had the experience of grafting the Vest hickory on the bitternut, had it bear in two years, and then die. |
I don't think I have ever seen a hickory nut tree so loaded with nuts as a Manahan which I have grafted on bitternut. |
The Pleas is a bitternut hybrid and has some bitterness in the kernel, but no more than the English walnut and people like it. |
None of them that I have tried to graft will live on bitternut roots. |
From the shape of the nut, I believe it has a trace of the bitternut hickory in its make-up. |
The bitternut, or Swamp Hickory, has a kernel which is very bitter. |
