carya illinoiensis hardy pecan tree seed #A1716C
Carya illinoiensis
Illinois Hardy Pecan
Native to the southern US and parts of the midwest.  Trees are of medium height and produce edible nuts, which are of excellent quality and prized by people and wildlife alike.  The nut shells are a bit thicker than the Southern papershell pecans, but are not as thick as those of the hickory, the hardy pecan's cousin.  The taste is nearly identical to papershells.  The tree bark is used to produce an astringent.  The plants are fairly tolerant of soil types, but prefer a well-drained sandy loam.  The trees make excellent shade or forest trees and are long-lived.  A single tree will produce nuts.  Begins bearing in 12-15yrs.  Hardy to -20F (-28.8C);  height: 50ft.

#A1716C    Bulk seed    1pound (avg. 135 seeds)    $10.00
