About the Kalos Pecan Tree
A new pecan variety by the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Kalos produces large crops of high-quality pecans. It’s a strong cultivar that is a reliable bearer of pecans consistent in size. The light golden nuts are easily shelled into complete halves. The tasty nuts are used in making pecan pie, candied pecans, and pecan-crusted meats.
Pecan trees are native to the United States, where they thrive in southern locations with long growing seasons. These native forest trees are now popular in commercial settings throughout the southeast. They can be grown at home, especially if you have room for them.
When planning to add pecan trees to your yard or orchard, both Type I and Type II varieties need to be included to ensure proper pollination. Kalos is a Type I cultivar. The Kalos Pecan tree shows moderate resistance to pecan scab, but benefits from a regular spray routine.
Add nuts to your harvest and for future generations with a reliable nut tree like the Kalos Pecan!
