How to Select Healthy Sand Hickory？

When selecting a healthy sand hickory, look for vibrant, uniformly colored leaves without yellowing or browning. Ensure there are no visible signs of pests or diseases, such as holes, spots, or sticky residue on the leaves. Check for sturdy stems and overall plant vigor, indicating proper growth and strength.
