FIELD FRESH PECAN TREES
We strive to supply our customers with trees which are freshly
dug. Pecan roots are very susceptible to damage from drying out. Trees
are carefully packed with moisture retaining material around the roots to
maintain a damp condition while in transit.
Pecan trees are a perishable product. The "liveability" of field
fresh pecan trees is much greater than trees which have been dug for
weeks or months and are carelessly handled.
You will find us referring to western and eastern varieties in this
catalog. Eastern varieties are resistant to leaf disease, thus are more able
to grow in humid areas. These eastern varieties can be grown satisfactorily
in the West. We do not recommend western varieties in the East because
of leaf disease problems. For a rough boundary line for eastern and western
varieties, draw a line from San Antonio through Ft. Worth to Tulsa.

PECAN TREES - Continued
PH: 254-893-6497
LIPAN-(1) - Released by the USDA-ARS in 2011. Lipan originated from a controlled cross of Cheyenne and Pawnee in Brownwood,
Texas. Excellent scab disease resistance, with medium susceptibility to
yellow and black aphids. It has a high nut quality and high yield potential.
Medium early nut maturity. Appears to be regular in its yield, increasing
yields with increasing age with little alternate bearing. Kernels are cream
to golden in color with open, non trapping dorsal groves and rounded
dorsal ridge. The nut is oblong elliptic with a slightly pointed apex and
rounded base (44 nuts/lb) with a 55% kernel. Add $2.00 Per Tree Limit 5
LAKOTA-(2) - A cross between Mahan and Major. Lakota is
scab resistant and has a medium susceptibility to yellow and black aphids.
Lakota is showing good production to the northern areas of Texas as well
as Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. As one of the more recent
USDA releases, Lakota carries the traits of heavy bearing, early to bear,
cream to gold kernel color and easy shelling. Lakota’s exterior characteristics include being an oblong oval with an acute point and rounded base.
Size for this variety is about 59 nuts per pound and has shelled out 62%
kernel. Tree structure is upright growth, vigorous, and strong limb angles.
Lakota is eastern variety and is fast becoming our number three best seller for commercial producers.
WICHITA-(2) - This is a cross between the Halbert and the
Mahan varieties. This pecan has an abundance of dark green foliage and
is a consistent bearer of heavy, high quality nuts. We have seen as many
as nine nuts in one cluster. Wichita follows Western in sales and production once you get anywhere west of Abilene. With good management,
Wichita has performed well in the area just west of the lower I-35 corridor.
The nuts are of medium size, about 60 normal nuts are required
to make a pound. The nut is moderately elongated in shape, like the
Schley. The nuts are usually very well filled.
The Wichita is recommended in areas where western varieties do
well. • The #1 money maker in the state overall.
SIOUX-(2) - A Schley-Carmichael cross. The Sioux kernel is
considered the best in eye appeal, shape, taste and ease of shelling. Nuts
are small, 60-80 per pound. Has produced well in Central Texas and
westward. Can be successfully grown in eastern areas with a good
fungicide program. Sioux is the variety that over the years, customers and
their neighbors have come back for, once they see the quality of the nut
and tree structure.
WACO-(1) - The newest of the controlled crosses from USDA. A
Cheyenne-Sioux cross. There are about 53 nuts/lb., kernel yield is about
56%. Kernels are cream to golden in color, and have wide, non trapping
dorsal grooves. Early pollen shed. Matures mid-season. Recommended
for western pecan area.
(1) Indicates early pollen shedding, Protandrous.
(2) Indicates late pollen shedding. Protogynous.

CADDO PECAN
FAX: 254-893-3400
WESTERN -(1) - Long well shaped nuts with thin shells.
Western is the number 1 commercial variety in West Texas and has shown
yield over 7,000 lbs per acre in the El Paso River Valley.
CADDO-(1) - A small, football shaped nut with excellent kernel
quality. This variety is becoming more and more popular each season in
orchards and home plantings. Very disease resistant, vigorous, upright
grower. Eastern variety. 60 nuts per pound, 57% kernel.
CHEYENNE-(1) - This pecan resulted as a cross of the Clark
and Odom varieties. The Cheyenne bears heavy and early after planting.
The nuts are medium size (55-60 nuts per pound) and usually contain
57%-61% kernel. The kernels are relatively loose within the shell, making
the Cheyenne nuts easy to shell with commercial machinery.
The Cheyenne is protandrous in blooming (early pollen shedding)
and is an excellent choice for pollinizing such varieties as Wichita.
The variety is well tested in the Western area, and is also doing
well in Eastern Regions. • Thin shell and high quality kernel.
CHOCTAW-(2) - This variety is the result of a cross between the
Mahan and Success varieties. This variety does well in practically all
pecan growing areas.
The nut is large and attractive, resembling the Stuart variety in
shape. The hull is extra thin. The kernel, which consists of 58% of the total
weight of the inshell nut, is very smooth, high in oil content, bright in color,
and rich in flavor.
The tree's upright habit of growth and good foliage makes it a
good selection for yard plantings as well as commercial plantings. This
variety is easy to shell.

Shipping Information Pg. 29
PAWNEE-(1) - A cross of Mohawk and Starking Hardy Giant.
The nuts have very early maturity which makes the Pawnee an attractive
variety for the shorter growing seasons. The nuts have matured as early
as Sept. 15th at Brownwood. Protandrous, pollen shed similar to
Cheyenne. Pawnee is considered to be an Eastern variety.
DESIRABLE-(1) - Large nut, cracks easily. Moderate producer
and bears early. Disease resistant. Popular eastern variety.
OCONEE -(1) - One of the newer releases from the U.S.D.A.
Pecan Breeders. The Oconee is a Barton-Schley cross. Variety has good
nut size (about 50 per pound), a 55% kernel and has good disease
resistance.
KANZA-(2) - This variety has surpassed all other varieties two
to one, the last few years. Kanza is very scab resistant, early maturing, and
has very good tree structure characteristics. The only trait that has a fault
is the size of the pecan. The count is 72 nuts per pound with a 55% kernel. This variety is by far Larry J. Womack’s favorite.
HOPI-(2) - The Hopi variety resulted from a cross made
between Schley and McCulley. We have observed this variety for over 35
years in our orchard. It is usually the best quality nut produced on our farm.
The Hopi is a medium producer, not as likely to over produce one year and
skip the next. The Hopi should not be planted in areas subject to scab. An
excellent variety for planting in Central Texas and West. Nut size is about
55 per pound with a kernel percentage of 58-60%. Has a bright kernel
which keeps well. Good tree shape.
NACONO-(2) - One of the newest of the USDA pecan releases.
A cross of the Cheyenne and Sioux varieties. Eastern variety. The Nacono
has very high nut quality, scab resistance, and excellent tree strength. Nuts
are suitable for inshell or shelling trade. Nut size is about 47 per pound and
kernel percentage averages 56%. Upright tree growth. Mid-season maturity.
LIMIT 10
PODSEDNIK-(1) - The largest pecans we have observed. One
sample required only 20 nuts to make a pound. The tree has strong
structure and large leaves. Appears to be scab resistant. These are
desirable characteristics for your yard trees. Pollen is shed slightly ahead
of pistil receptivity. Kernel is well filled and has good color in younger
trees. Matures in early November. Eastern variety. Recommended for
TRIAL PLANTING ONLY.

PECAN PLANTING OBSERVATIONS
AND SUGGESTIONS
Your first consideration in planting is determining if your soil and
site are suitable. Some factors to consider are - Is my soil well drained Are
large trees nearby which will compete for moisture, nutrients and
sunlight? Is my soil a good pecan soil? Are pecans in immediate area
growing in a similar soil type? Will the site allow for air movement around
the tree and not be a trap for moist and/or cold air? We urge our customers
to be ready for the trees when they arrive. The trees are packed at our
nursery to maintain moisture in the root zone. If you are not able to plant
upon arrival, check for moisture around roots, add water if necessary and
reseal package. If weather is extremely cold, hold in an insulated building
or straw covered in a barn or shed.

(Keep roots of pecan trees covered and moist while planting.)
Hole size will be determined by tree size. Usually a 10" diameter
hole is sufficient for a 3-4' tree. Trees 7-8' may require 3' holes 16" across.
We recommend that the side roots be trimmed to fit the above size holes.
We like for the base of the root to rest on firm soil and the tree be planted
at the same depth as grown in the nursery row. It is acceptable to plant
1/2" deeper, but do not allow any of the root to be showing after planting.
Replace soil which was removed from hole and pack and water the loose
soil around roots. If the hole cannot be dug as deep as the length of the
taproot, cut off the bottom of the taproot so that the tree is planted at the
proper depth. Some growers with heavy soils prefer to cut the tap root to
a short length of 12-18". Some growers also prefer to remove 1/3 of the top
when planting pecan trees.
For many years peat moss has been recommended as a planting
addition for heavy soils. Most commercial growers now agree pecan trees
transplant better when soil which is removed from the hole is returned to
the hole along with the tree roots. The peat moss addition will create a
much looser soil texture around roots as compared to the surrounding soil.
This condition will increase the possibility that the hole will become waterlogged and the pecan roots will sour before growth begins.
Do not be anxious to form the perfect shaped tree. We like a
"trashy trunk" i.e., a trunk with many small branches. This growth on the
tree trunk helps the tree become re-established and will also hasten trunk
diameter growth. A long, slim trunk with only a bit of top growth is subject
to sunscald and winter injury. The "trashy trunk" can be gradually removed
in 2-3 years as the tree becomes re-established.
In selecting branches to serve as permanent limbs, keep in mind
that the wide angle branches are the strongest. Limbs which form a
narrow crotch are weak and will usually split at the weak crotch.
CAUSES OF PECAN TREE TRANSPLANTING FAILURE
1. Lack of soil drainage.
2. Failure to settle soil around roots.
3. Lack of water & failure to control weeds.
4. Too much water - This is especially a problem
when soil drainage is poor.
5. Fertilizer used in hole with newly planted tree.
6. Allowing roots to dry during transplanting.
7. Herbicide damage.

PEACHES, APRICOTS, NECTARINES, APPLES
AND PLUMS
The roots on these trees should be trimmed so as not to be bent
around when set. Trim branches back to about 6 inches. When the
branches start growth, select 3 or 4 branches and keep the others cut off.
Holes for fruit trees are not required to be more than 1 foot deep
and foot across. Plant the tree back to where they were growing in the
nursery row.
It is important to water these trees after planting to settle the soil
around the roots. Many growers prefer to remove 1/2 of the top when
planting fruit trees.
ROSES
1 to 2 year old container grown plants. When received, they will
have been taken out of the container. Prepare the bed or rows by spading
up well. Place root ball at ground level or a little above. Back fill with soil
and water thoroughly. Mulch will help to cool roots during periods of hot
weather.
BLACKBERRIES
We like to plant berry plants about 1 inch deeper than they grew
in the nursery row because of the tops being trimmed for packing and
shipping. The thorny varieties will only have a small amount of tip exposed.
The thornless blackberries will have about 3-4 inches of cane sticking out
of the ground. Plant about 4 foot apart in row. Have rows at least 12 foot
apart. Keep moist until plants start growth. A mulch will help.
BLACKBERRY ROOT CUTTINGS
Lay root cuttings horizontally in a 2-4 inch deep trench. Water in
well and cover with soil. Mulch the area lightly to conserve moisture.
GRAPES
Grapes will mostly come untrimmed, just as they were in the
nursery row. Some varieties will be pre-trimmed for planting. To prune a
grape for planting, remove the top growth back to a single spur with 3 or 4
fussy end nodes. Trim the roots back to about 3 or 4 inches.
Plant the grape to the same depth as it was growing in the
nursery row. The hole will need to be approximately 6 inches across and
about 8 inches deep. Pack the soil around the roots and water thoroughly,
to remove the air pockets from the hole. Plant grapes 8 - 12 ft. apart in
rows, and plant your rows 12 - 15 ft. apart.
