Garden Dilemmas, Delights & Discoveries

Ep 132. Shagbark Hickories and Nutty Mast Years


Listen Later

It's a nutty time! When nuts are abundant, it's called a Mast Year. In this episode, we chat about what triggers Mast Years, somewhat mysterious, and Shagbark Hickory's three-year cycle of nuts. 

Shagbark Hickory are not often landscape trees-- what's beautiful to some is messy to others. But wildlife loves them. Find out why you may, too. 


 We wrap up with the wisdom that we are one with nature and how significant our role can be in helping each other, helping nature, and being kind.

It's not only about gardens; it's about nature's inspirations, about grasping the glories of the world around us, gathering what we learned from mother nature, and carrying these lessons into our garden of life. So, let's jump in in the spirit of learning from each other. We have lots to talk about.
