Curtis Pecan Tree [Carya illinoinensis]

The Curtis pecan tree cultivar was discovered in 1886 growing near Orange Park, FL. by J.B. Curtis. It is fascinating that the Curtis Pecan tree is such an outstanding, dependable cultivar that it has produced such fine quality kernels so far South in Florida, near Orlando, where very little dormancy occurs.

Ripe Curtis pecans

The Curtis pecan is so resistant to disease that the rootstock of all TyTy Nursery pecan trees is grafted on Curtis Seedlings that were grown by planting nuts from the Curtis cultivar.

The Curtis nut has been tested in Texas and Southeastern Experiment Stations and was released by the USDA because of its disease resistance and its phenomenal early production phase of orchards in the Southeast.



Curtis pecans are easy to crack

It is easy to crack the papershell free from the Curtis pecan nut, and usually the straw colored kernels shell out in perfect halves.

Many orchards in Northern Florida can expect to produce an increase in production of 10 pounds per tree for each year the tree ages. If you buy an 8 foot pecan tree, it is not unusual to harvest a few nuts the first year.

The nuts have a very thin shell, and the shell-out, kernel percentage is a startling 57%. We don't know of any other commercial cultivar, that produces a shell-out product efficiency like Curtis.
