Snaps, Grafted Pecan (Type 1)
Discovered in the wild at Pleasant Creek, Iowa, Snaps is a reliable, annual producer of very early ripening nuts. These nuts tends to be on the smaller side when grown in the northern most areas, but are early ripening (usually early to mid October) and can be cracked out in halves fairly easily. Recommended for short season areas. 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.
Partially self-fertile - plant with a different variety for best nut production. This variety is protandrous (type 1), which means that the male pollen tassels open before the female flowers. Therefore, this variety is best paired with a protogynous (type 2) cultivar that opens the female blooms 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.
