Hickory refers to a group of hardwood trees in the genus Carya, native to North America and parts of Asia. These trees thrive primarily in the eastern United States, where they are commonly found in forests and mixed woodlands. Hickory wood is valued for its strength, durability, and shock resistance, making it popular for furniture, flooring, and tool handles. Additionally, hickory nuts are edible and are produced by several species of hickory trees.

Not all hickory nuts are edible; however, many species produce nuts that are safe to eat. The most commonly consumed hickory nuts come from the shagbark hickory and shellbark hickory, which have a sweet, flavorful kernel. Some species, like the bitternut hickory, produce nuts that are bitter and not palatable. It's essential to properly identify the species before consuming hickory nuts.

Possibly they come from two different types of hickory tree. Pignut hickory and pecan hickory are two different hicories with different nuts altogether. While pignuts are hard shelled and rather small in size, pecans are thin shelled and somewhat large in size.If they came from the same tree the smaller nut just may not have matured correctly.
