Carya illinoinensis

Family: Juglandaceae, Genus: Carya

Description:

Carya illinoinensis, commonly known as the pecan tree, is a fast-growing nut tree native to Texas. It can reach heights of 70 to 100 feet with a branch spread of up to 70 feet. This tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, producing large, high-quality nuts with a rich kernel content. It is a Type-1 pollinator, requiring a Type-2 pecan tree for cross-pollination. Known for its disease resistance, particularly to scab, it begins nut production in 5 to 10 years, with harvests occurring in October.
