    I've never seen a tree trunk like this one. Is it typical of the hickory?

    My brother has a shag bark hickory. What a great tree.

    It seems it's a host plant for Luna moths.

    Do you ever have have them around your outside lights?

    Jan, it is typical of a mature shagbark. There are other kinds that are not as shaggy, nor are the young trees. For some reason I love them..

    Linda, I just love them!

    Cathy, I have never seen one here on the farm, although we do see them at camp sometimes. Wish we did have them...they are so beautiful..
