About the Zinner Pecan Tree
Grow your own pecans with this type II favorite!
Zinner is another winner from the University of Georgia Pecan Breeding Program. It’s a favorite for overall nut quality and consistency. You’ll love having your own supply of homegrown nuts for baking and snacking.
These native forest trees are now popular in commercial settings throughout the southeast. They can be grown at home too, especially if you have room for them. Zinner has moderate scab resistance, seeing success in orchards with a minimal spray program. Plant pecan trees in an area with full sun, well-drained soil, and plenty of space. These trees can grow large, providing shade and shelter.
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. Zinner is a Type II cultivar.
Add nuts to your harvest and for future generations with a quality nut tree like the Zinner Pecan!
