Nut Trees
Papershell Pecan
|
Any of the Indian
varieties of papershell pecans will grow and produce well in
East Texas, but experts and growers agree that Choctaw, Pawnee,
and Desirable are the varieties most popular and best suited for
this area.
To produce pecans
these trees must be cross pollinated.
This means that you must have at least two trees of
different varieties.
For these particular trees you must have at least one
Choctaw and one Pawnee or one Choctaw and one Desirable to get
dependable nut production. The reason all trees get
pollinated is that the Pawnee and Desirable will pollinate the
Choctaw first. Then, later in the season the trees will
reverse roles and the Choctaw will pollinate the Pawnee and
Desirable.
For the home
orchard consisting of a few pecan trees most folks just plant
one or two of several different varieties and let them do their
thing.

Desirable
Protandrous
(pollinator)
|
|
| One of the
larger pecans, excellent cracker, bears early
and is a very heavy producer. has a
thinner shell than Success. Disease
resistant. Protandrous.
An
early-pollen-shedding variety. Desirable is an
outstanding variety for the humid areas of east
and south Texas and also produces well in
central Texas. The tree grows fast but requires
at least 8 to 10 years to bear 15 pounds of
pecans. It has weak "V" limb angles
which require training and its foliage is light
green rather than a more attractive dark color.
Scab resistance is moderate and can be
controlled with fungicide sprays. Desirable is
not an exceptionally heavy bearer, but as an
older tree it is the most regular producer of
crops of high quality pecans. 39 Nuts/lb; 54
percent kernel. (ag)
Very old commercial variety that still ranks
high. Large pecans, of very good quality. Bears
almost every year. Disease-resistant and
somewhat weak-wooded in winds and ice. Foliage
is medium green.

Hardy Giant Cross. Large nut. Early nut maturity and
high kernel percentage. Protandrous, mediocre scab
resistant.
The Pawnee pecan tree is an excellent
choice for people with limited space due to its relatively
small size, only 30 feet tall and wide. Pawnee grows well from
Georgia to Texas and is an exceptional pollinator. The nuts
are large and sweet. The Pawnee has recently become one of the
most popular papershell varieties for home and commercial
orchards due to its numerous fine qualities.
