Pawnee Pecan

Pawnee Pecan is a popular variety known for its early ripening and high-quality nuts with a sweet, rich flavor. This deciduous tree performs best in well-drained soils and requires regular watering, particularly during the nut development stage, to achieve the best yields. Pawnee Pecan is relatively disease-resistant, making it a reliable choice for both home gardens and commercial orchards. Annual pruning is recommended to maintain tree vigor and enhance sunlight penetration within the canopy. Developed in Oklahoma, Pawnee Pecan has become a staple in pecan-growing regions due to its consistent performance and adaptability. Additionally, this variety plays an important role in supporting local wildlife and contributing to the biodiversity of the area.
