Three new stamps are being added to the medium value Fruit Trees of Canada series to coincide with new postal rates for USA, second step domestic and international rate stamps. The Shagbark Hickory derives its name from its bark, which comes away from the trunk in large, uneven shaggy pieces. Its nuts are edible, its sap is sweet and its bark has many uses. Native people would crush and boil the nuts to produce a highly nutritious milk for making cakes. The inside of the bark contains a yellow dye widely used in the 18th century. Its wood has been used for lacrosse sticks, fishing rods, bowls and tool handles. The tree is indigenous to the southern part of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence forest region.
Based on photographs by Richard Robitaille.
