We have lots of hickory trees in and near our yard. There are hickory nuts, and acorns everywhere. The hickory nuts come off the tree about as big as a golf ball. They come apart in quarters revealing a white nut in the center (see one in center of photo with a piece of grass over it). Then you or a squirrel has to peel the white outer part to find the eatable part. The squirrels and other rodents and critters that eat nuts should have a good harvest this fall from the amount that is on my grass and driveway. Have to sweep the drive of nuts once a week or so as they don't make for easy walking.
