Henke is a hican cultivar, a natural cross between a pecan and a shagbark hickory. It produces large, thin-shelled nuts with excellent flavor and easy cracking, combining the best traits of both parent species.
Seedlings grown from Henke nuts are genetically diverse a mixture of pecan or hickory due to genetic recombination. These trees are ideal for wildlife plantings, landscape tree, homesteads, or superior flavored nuts.
Hybrid: ½ pecan × ½ shagbark hickory
Tree type: Ungrafted seedling
Pollination: Benefits from nearby hicans or pecans
Uses: Nut production, shade, or rootstock
Zones: 5–9
