Pawnee Pecan is a hybrid deciduous tree that is the most popular papershell pecan of the South for its small size but large nuts in a thin, easily cracked shell. The compound green leaves turn yellow-brown in fall. Pawnee matures early, starting to produce nuts at a mere 7-9 years, and the nuts reach maturity early as well starting in mid September. Grows best in full sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. Pawnee is frost resistant and has good resistance to aphids but should be noted they are susceptible to scab.
