Best month to harvest hickory

(1/2) > >>

Muskyman:
I know that you want to harvest hickory in spring or summer months so the bark will come off and leave a pristine back. Just wondering what months are best for this?
I have a few hickory trees out back about 8-10 inches in diameter I’m planning on harvesting this spring or summer and was wondering when is to early or late for the bark to peel off it nicely.
Thanks

Jakesnyder:
Kind of depends on location a little bit. I live in western PA and in april and May it still doesn't slip real easy all the time. I'd say end of May early June. Just my 2 cents...

Pat B:
When the leaves are fully out probably until late August, during the growing season.

Like others have said I do my harvesting in June here in eastern Ontario Canada. 

Pappy:
In Tennessee late May through early August, Late August here the bark is starting to hang on and tougher to get off clean. July is prefect for us. :)
