Guy looking at some ripening Mahan pecans on the tree

The nut of the Mahan Pecan tree is a long rounded nut that fill up a container fast. Mister Mahan, now deceased, lived in Monticello, Florida where he promoted this giant papershell pecan for many years, because of its early bearing characteristic and the enormous size of the three inch nuts.

The Mahan tends to overbear, sometimes causing massive limb breakage which provides an entrance for fungal rot spores. The overbearing of the Mahan Pecan tree is not generally a problem except during hurricane season when high winds can breakout heavy bearing limbs before the nuts have fully ripened, especially in the state of Florida where hurricanes occur so frequently.

The shell of the Mahan pecan is so thin that the nuts often can be cracked merely by pressing the thumb against the papershell.
