Important historical variety grown in North Carolina with marginal nut quality
The 'Stuart' pecan is a variety of Carya illinoinensis, Hardy Pecan, and is commonly grown in the southeastern United States. It is a Type II pecan, for pollination purposes, primeval, but not early and requires an early variety for pollination. It needs less pruning than other varieties and usually takes 8 to 10 years to bear fruit. It usually has a thicker shell than other varieties
The Stuart pecan grows best in sunny loamy, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-6.5. Tolerates clay and sand, as long as they are well drained.
It yields 40-50 nuts per pound and the nuts are large and break easily due to their thin and brittle shells. Inside, the core is plump and firm in texture with a rich flavor. The tree grows to a mature height of 75 to 100 feet.
