Shagbark hickory reaches a height of 60 to 80 feet and spreads 25 to 35 feet. The tree has a picturesque, oval outline with the lower branches somewhat drooping, the upper branches upright, and the middle branches just about horizontal. Probably the best ornamental hickory due to the open branching habit and shaggy, gray bark.
