Our
local Walmart has some really nice potted pecan
trees. They are Zinner and Huffman. Another store has Stuart. I’m pretty sure I’m too far north for Stuart. I wasn’t able to find much out about Zinner and Huffman. Does anyone know if these will survive and ripen before frost here? I’m 90 miles south of KC, MO.
This is area is a big producer of
native pecans. I don’t know if Southern or paper shell pecans grow here. The flavor of the natives is better with a much higher oil content. They are small and hard to crack though. I have a lot of native seedlings planted. I’m looking for a few good, grafted varieties. I ordered a Peruque and a Colby from Starks. I’d like to find a couple more varieties.
