Stuart Pecan Tree | Type 2 Pollinator
Order Stuart Pecan Tree Online
The Stuart pecan tree cultivar is an old-time favorite among pecan varieties and is one of the most popular trees seen in the Southeastern US.
The Stuart pecan nuts are medium-sized but probably larger than those bought in the store. It produces roughly 50-55 nuts per pound. It has a thick, strong shell, and 45% kernel content.
One consideration is that this pecan variety can take a bit longer to start producing nuts compared to other cultivars. Nut production could take 6 years to produce pecans and every year the nuts per pound will increase in number.
It will produce large nuts with a kernel that is plump and firm textured once established. They are also easy to crack open with the right tool.
The Carya illinoinensis Stuart is a Type-2 pollinator and requires to be pollinated with Type 1 like Caddo or Pawnee to cross-pollinate and produce nuts. The harvest date is in early October.

United StatesReally Good! I’m mean…really good
I bought a type one and two. The Pecan trees were in excellent shape. I ordered 5 to 6 foot and they came in shorter than that. One was 4’ 2” and one was 5 on the dot. It was short by a foot. I wanted them to grow at the same rate but, these will do. Really Great quality trees but I was disappointed in the height. I have a type 1 already established at 78” and wanted tho manage these trees the same. I thought these trees would be the same height. They weren’t.

Ordered as a present for my brother who likes pecans. He has a large homestead, so I bought him three different kinds. They shipped without any leaves (expected due to winter) but where 4+ft tall. Will buy other gift trees for friends in the future. Thanks!
