Vince, see if you can get Kanza, Lakota, Hark, Major, and Oswego from the Dutch nursery. Hark and Major are type 1 pollinators for the other three.

āHausmannā is a large, poorly filling āpapershellā pecan growing at Mt. Vernon, IN, near Evansvilleā¦ Will occasionally fill there if all factors are optimal, but most yearsā¦ Not.
Larry Grauke says it is probably āMahanā or a 'Mahan seedling; based on nut appearance, I agree. Likely to be scab susceptible.
Iām surprised to see it on an international list

Hausmann and Stegmiller are the two I donāt recognize.

It would be enlightening to me to hear how a pecan cultivar became to be named āDeerstandā. Iāve heard of bows being made of pecan wood though.

Squirrels got all of my Sumners. Between them and crows, itās tough. We had three Sumners that were loaded. We killed 27 squirrels and evidently didnāt make a dent in the population.

My cousin had 1 producing pecan tree of unknown variety that were fine. She dug up a pecan seedling that the squirrels had planted as a nut in her flower bed and replanted it. It grew up to produce long slender pecans that were also fine.
I dug up a pecan seedling from her flower bed that turned out to be an Ash tree. 
The moral of this story is that you never know exactly what you have with a seedling.

Darrell, last year I sent an email to the Maioli Fruti Antichi nursery (the ownerās name is Enzo Maioli), to buy traditional varieties of Italian apricots (there are really good varieties), and they didnāt even bother to answer me.
It doesnāt seem like a very recommendable nursery.

Anyone know a good place to buy a wide variety of pecan scions in a couple of months? Iām looking for Cape Fear, Oconee, Zinner, and a few others. Iāve found Oconee, but I would like to do a one stop shop. My internet searches are drawing a blank.
You wonāt find many sources that sell scionwood. I can get most of the common varieties from Auburnās grove. Here is a list, * by varieties I have.

Wow what a list! What is the difference between hickory major and the regular major you have listed? I found an old grafted pecan in southern IN that I think is major, based on the nuts, and growth form of the tree.
Tim,
āHickoryās Majorā, now known as āFredās Majorā, is a seedling of āMajorā that Fred Blankenship selected as a seedling, for the large, prominent lenticels in its bark. IIRC, it was awarded 2nd place in a MO or NE Nutgrowersā Assn. contest when Fred sent nuts in to be evaluated.
My tree has a light crop this year.

DNA tests show Major is a hican with an introgression on chromosome 8 from bitternut and bits and pieces of nutmeg hickory and shagbark hickory scattered around on other chromosomes. Hickory Major (listed as such in Auburnās records so I will use that name for now) shows the hickory heritage with very thick clam shell husks around the nuts. Major has been used in breeding with offspring such as Kanza and Lakota. Significant traits is provides include scab resistance (industrial strength!), stronger wood fiber (can handle ice with minimal breakage), pest tolerance (pecan phylloxera) and other traits such as reliable production.

Do you sell scion wood?
I usually collect scionwood from Auburnās grove and/or my trees and provide it pretty much at cost, usually $1 per stick plus shipping. Iām not making any money for sure.

Thanks!
Let me know when to order. Thanks!
Had some nice local pecans (Louisiana) today and thought of this thread that Iāve enjoyed reading.
Growing up Iām certain to say I didnāt even know there was such a thing as different varieties. We just had what we had. Nonsense of course.
Havenāt seen @Jose-Albacete post in a whileā¦ Maybe heās busy with his restaurant (if I recall he iss involved with one).
I hope we continue to get more international members here as I enjoy the posts.
