Protogynous Type II
About the Kanza Pecan Tree (Type II)
The Kanza Pecan Tree is one of the most disease-resistant pecan varieties available, making it an excellent choice for home growers and northern pecan regions alike. Developed specifically for cold tolerance, productivity, and exceptional resistance to pecan scab, Kanza delivers reliable harvests even where pecans can be challenging to grow.
This grafted, Type II (protogynous) pecan produces abundant crops of high-quality nuts with golden kernels and outstanding flavor. While the nuts are slightly smaller in size, they shell easily and consistently yield attractive halves. Expect approximately 74–77 nuts per pound, with a high kernel percentage, making them ideal for baking, roasting, and fresh eating.
Kanza trees are vigorous and heat tolerant, with good adaptability to moist, well-drained soils. Nuts ripen mid to late October, and the tree performs especially well in USDA Zone 6 and other northern pecan-growing areas.
For proper pollination, plant Kanza alongside a compatible Type I pecan, see recommended pollinators below. With its excellent disease resistance, cold hardiness, and dependable nut quality, Kanza is a standout option for growers seeking a low-maintenance, high-performing pecan tree.
