Oconee Pecan Tree
(USDA Schley x Barton ) Type I. 48 nuts/lb. 53% kernel.
Oconee was bred for desirable characteristics such as high quality kernels, disease resistance, and its most important quality: large nut size, combined with a thin, easily cracked shell. Oconee is gaining popularity and replacing many older varieties partially due to its resistance to pecan scab.
