Kanza Pecan is highly resistant to diseases such as pecan scab, making it a favorite among growers in regions with more challenging climates. Annual pruning helps maintain tree shape and encourages healthy growth. Developed from a cross between Major and Shoshoni pecans, Kanza Pecan is valued for its consistent yields and high-quality nuts, which are perfect for fresh eating and baking.

Little concerned about one of the tree’s root system. All it had was tap root. The other had a better root system but nothing like the Oconee that I received. I hope that the tap one will take.

Root system appears well developed and healthy. Already prepped as directed (nice clear instructions provided) and transplanted. Looking forward to watching it come out of dormancy and resume its growth.
