Protandrous Type I
Jumpstart your homestead and diversify your garden by planting a Caddo Pecan Tree!
Growing your own pecan tree is an affordable way to add beauty and a food source to your landscape. In terms of yield, Caddo is a top producer of pecans. ‘Caddo’ has a slender kernel with attractive gold color. Unlike many cultivars, nut quality remains high in mature trees even with the larger yields.
Pecans enhance the flavor of your food while providing important nutrients for your diet. These nuts are a natural source of antioxidants, protein, unsaturated fats, and more.
Pecan trees thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Since these trees can continue to bear even when over a century old, you’ll enjoy homegrown nuts for generations.
Caddo was developed from a cross between the cultivars ‘Brooks’ and ‘Alley’ in 1922 or 1923 at the U.S. Pecan Field Station, Philema, Georgia. This cultivar was then tested and released in 1968 from the USDA breeding program at Brownwood, Texas.
