Oconee Pecan Tree
The Oconee Pecan Tree cultivar is highly recommended for Northern climates, since it shows a high resistance to cold temperatures. The papershell nuts are large and grow in huge clusters on Oconee Pecan Trees. The nuts on the papershell Oconee Pecan tree fill out the kernels well for fall sales. It is not unusual for the grafted Oconee pecan cultivar to bear the first year, if you buy an 8 foot tree or larger. The Oconee Pecan tree produces the pollen catkins shortly after the first leaves form in the Spring for easy pollination of the nuts. Huge commercial plantings of the Oconee Pecan tree cultivar are now being established in areas North of Macon, GA, and then West to Montgomery, AL and Jackson, MS, because of its apparent excellent survival rate when subjected to cold weather.
