Protandrous Type I
You won’t have to forage for nuts far when you grow a pecan tree in your backyard!
The Creek Pecan tree is noted for bearing early and for its moderate disease resistance to scab. Creek produces a nut crop as early as five years after planting.
Pecans enhance the flavor of your food while providing important nutrients for your diet. These nuts are a natural source of antioxidants, protein, unsaturated fats, and more. Creek pecans are long, narrow, and elliptical in shape. These prolific pecan trees yield about 54 large nuts per lb.
Creek does well in more densely planted areas, including some shade. Although pecan trees, in general, thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. This variety benefits from crop thinning to prevent alternate bearing.
The harvest date for the Creek Pecan tree is early October – sooner than many other varieties.
The tree is a Type-1 pollinator and requires Type II pecan trees with which to pollinate.
