Recommended for coldest parts of northern pecan growing region. Old variety, a parent of most of the newer varieties. Very late maturing, does best in low desert climates. Very large, thin-shelled nut, excellent quality. Earliest maturing, so more widely adapted than others.
Attractive tree is vigorous, bears young and heavy.
Good choice for home planting. Adapted to climates with growing seasons too short for Mahan or Western Schley, such as the northern Central Valley in California. Medium to large, thin-shelled nut. Partly self-fruitful, or plant with Mohawk. Nuts larger than Major, harvest earlier.
