The Stuart Pecan tree is the best all-around pecan tree. It yields 40 to 50 nuts per pound, and the nuts are large and easy to crack open because of their thin and fragile shell. Inside, the kernel is plump and firm-textured with a rich flavor. The Stuart is a Type-2 pollinator and should be pollinated with a Type-1 pecan tree. It is hardy in Zones 6-9 and can be planted in full sun or partial shade. The soil should be deep, moist, and well-drained. The tree is shipped in a 4x4x10 in. pot with a minimum tree height of 12 in.
