Identifying Walnuts and Hickories

Nuts are ripening across the Arboretum landscape: black walnut, pignut, shagbark hickory, shellbark hickory, and many more. Join herbalist Alex Klein for a class on identifying walnut and hickory species using leaf shape, bark, nuts, and other key identification features. The class will focus on species common to Massachusetts streets and forests, so that you will be prepared to identify the trees around you on your next walk in the woods or around town.
