Pignut Hickory

Carya glabra · Juglandaceae

How it looks

Hickory (Pignut) is a deciduous tree with large feather-shaped compound leaves (five leaflets). In autumn it bears small round nuts (pignuts), and its leaves turn yellow. Height 50-82 ft (15-25 m).

Pignut Hickory is listed as non-toxic to cats by the ASPCA. An occasional nibble is unlikely to cause any real trouble.

Guide for parents

Even with a safe plant, make a habit of picking up fallen leaves the same day. If your cat likes to dig in or eat potting soil, fertilizer ingredients can upset their stomach — covering the soil with pebbles works well. If it comes home as a cut stem, florists often treat it with preservatives, so place the vase where your cat can't drink the water.
