In beech-maple and mixed hardwood stands.
This species is sometimes called “bitter pecan,” the latter word alluding to the close relationship to the true pecan, and the former to the very bitter kernel of the nut. The bark is tight and close with interlacing ridges, not at all as in the “shagbark” hickories.
