Candy Pecan Tree
The Candy Pecan tree cultivar ripens in early fall, sometimes as early as October, and young trees can produce nuts the first year if you buy a tree 8 feet or taller. The outstanding Candy pecan tree seedling has become a favorite at home orchards because of its reliable productivity of high quality nuts year after year. With the Candy pecan tree you are guaranteed a big harvest of in-shell nuts, because the papershell surrounding the nut is so thin that perfect halves are often the result of shelling. A traditional dish of the old South during Thanksgiving is a sweet potato souffle topped by fragrant toasted pecans-a Thanksgiving dinner favorite.

Large pecan trees on the ABAC campus in Tifton, GA produce regular harvests of pecans that are eagerly collected by agricultural students. The Candy pecan is easy to shell and very crunchy when added to desserts. Pecans are also a favorite nut for use in salads or packaged as salted, toasted pieces. Many tourists who travel from the North to the South are familiar with the pecan products normally seen at Stuckey's Pecan Store such as pecan praline, pecan brittle and a wide variety of other pecan candies.
