The Kiowa Pecan Tree is a lush choice for any landscape and produces delicious, robust nuts, making it a win-win situation for any gardener!

This cultivar of the pecan tree family is well known for its hearty nut size, lusciously plump kernels, and good resistance to disease. The Kiowa Pecan tree originated in Texas and is one of the most precocious members of the pecan cultivars. It is a cross between Mahan x Desirable.

The tree produces heavily as a young tree and is easy to train its structure into a central leader. The harvest date for these large pecans is in the fall. Although some years as a mature tree it may have a tendency to overbear and in these years nut quality could suffer. Mechanical shaking can help alleviate this problem during years of excessive nut production.

The Kiowa features 48 nuts per pound with 53% kernel. Its lush green foliage adds a touch of class to any landscape.  Its low-maintenance requirements make it an exceptionally easy tree to plant in your yard.  It will continue to offer beautiful foliage and delicious nuts for years to come.

Kiowa Pecan Tree Information

The Kiowa Pecan tree is a Type-2 pollinator and requires a Type-1, such as the Cape Fear, Creek, Desirable, or Mandan to produce pecans. Scab resistance is varying with some locations reporting susceptibility to scab and others reporting high scab resistance.

Grows best in USDA planting zones 6-9 across the southern United States. Grows exceptionally well in warm climates including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Texas.

Plant the Kiowa tree in full sun and well-drained soil to produce high-quality nuts with large size. Has a large, extensive root system. Mulching to the top of the root ball will help maintain moisture. These trees need lots of water as young trees.

FAQs for Kiowa Pecan Tree | Type 2 Pollinator

According to a pecan pollination chart provided by LSU AgCenter, pecan pollen can travel up to 300 to 400 feet. So for good cross-pollination, it's recommended to have at least two different pecan tree varieties planted within 300-400 feet of each other.

While honey bees may occasionally visit pecan trees for nectar and pollen, the process of pecan tree pollination primarily relies on wind dispersal of pollen. Pecan tree pollination involves the shedding of pollen from male flowers (catkins) onto receptive female flowers (pistillate flowers) within the same tree or nearby trees of compatible types.

It can take up to 10 years for a pecan tree to bear fruit from seed. The germination process for pecan seeds involves stratifying the nuts for six to eight weeks before planting, acclimating them to normal temperatures, and then soaking them in water for 48 hours.

Most pecan trees are not self-pollinating and rely on external factors for successful pollination. However, there are some cultivars that have partial self-pollination capabilities, but cross-pollination is still beneficial for better productivity.
