Hi everyone!

I am from Hungary/Germany and I am planning on planting hickory trees on my piece of land.
I have searched for seeds on the internet and not only found a bit too few but also pretty pricey. I mean really.

I am not picky, I don't have any special cultivar in my mind, just would like to get some seeds. I thought maybe someone can help me with that, of course I pay for the post and also can pay some reasonable amount of money or anything in exchange if I should.

Thanks
David

Hi, I see you are in Hungary/Germany so I don't know how to point you to places for seeds.  I will offer some link and maybe they can arrange something.

This search offers seeds and nuts:

This is the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, they offer two places:

The first one didn't seem to do mail order though you could check with them.

This one does mail order:

Maybe google corrects it, but you might get more results if you spell it shagbark hickory or search for the Latin name Carya ovata.
