Deerstand, Grafted Pecan (Type 2)
Discovered in the wilds of Jackson county, Iowa, Deerstand produces a well-filled medium sized nut with good cracking qualities. This variety tends to produce a heavy crop every 2 out of 3 years and the nuts usually ripen near the end of October. Cold hardy to USDA zone 5, with winter protection recommended for the graft in colder areas.
These trees are grafted onto 3 year old rootstock and grown in containers for at least an additional 2 years to ensure strong fibrous root systems that will aid in good growth and transplant success.
Not self-fertile - plant with a different variety for nut production. This variety is protogynous (type 2), which means that the female flowers open before the male catkins are shedding pollen. Therefore, this variety is best paired with a protandrous (type 1) cultivar that sheds pollen first.
Please note: the bareroot pickup time for this plant is mid to late April which is different than most of our other bareroot plants.
