Description
Protandrous Type I
Produces large, flavorful nuts — about 48 pecans per pound. Yields consistently high-quality, easy-to-shell crops. Tree tends toward “self-thinning” (fruit drop) to improve size and quality of remaining nuts. Ripens in October to November. Grafted. Best pollinators: Kanza or Lakota.

Questions & Answers
If this tree is for your zone there should be no problem with a slope. You do need to make sure drainage is very good. Pecans do like plenty of water but not soaking feet.

Hi Gary, The Desirable Pecan is available to ship now, this fall season. We are restricted from shipping into the States of AZ, CA, NM & TX. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us, remember that we're here for you. Have a great day!
Hi William, This is a good question. Because weather and soil conditions vary so much from year to year and even within your zone, it's best to think of your planting time as a range of favorable conditions instead of an exact time.
You can plant new plants and trees: 1) when the ground is not frozen, 2) when daytime temperatures are above freezing (32ºF) and below 90ºF, and 3) when extreme weather (blizzard, hail, torrential rain, etc.) is not in the forecast. Be sure to keep plants watered if you're transplanting in warm and/or dry weather.
If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us, remember that we're here for you. Have a great day!
Customer Reviews
produces quicker than others, recommended as pollinator
4-1/2 stars; pollination w/ Avalon and others I have ordered in the past
Good price and good reviews.
These are fabulous pecans! I'm hoping for production in relatively short time frame and lasting for generations to come.
