More early ripening pecan cultivars

Colby, 23 Sept 2016

    After a week of warm and dry weather, I searched our pecan cultivar trials for more nuts that have split open their shucks. This time I found several USDA clones ripe as well as several well known pecan cultivars. Photos of these cultivars appear at right and below (I couldn't resist taking a photo of a eight-nut Pawnee cluster).
