Carya palida (sand hickory): small, 13 to 37 mm long, somewhat rounded, slightly longer than broad, covered with short hairs and yellow scales; husk thin, 3 to 4 mm thick and splitting tardily to the base by 2 or 3 sutures; nut laterally flattened, ridged, light-colored; shell very thin, 2 to 3 mm thick; kernel sweet.
I remember some talk on the old forum about deer eating hickory nuts. Do they or don't they, back and forth.
Was there any consensus that Carya palida was good for deer?
