Stuart Pecan Tree (Type II)
The Stuart Pecan Tree is one of the most popular and dependable pecan varieties ever introduced. A longtime favorite of home gardeners and commercial growers alike, Stuart is known for its heavy crops of high-quality pecans, strong tree structure, and ability to perform well across a wide range of growing conditions.
The attractive paper-shell nuts have excellent flavor and average about 40 nuts per pound. Stuart trees are vigorous, upright growers with strong branch structure, requiring less training and pruning than many other pecan varieties. They are also known for their good resistance to scab, making them an excellent choice for the home orchard.

___________________________
There are two pollination types: Type I and Type II.
For the best nut production, we recommend planting at least one Type I pecan tree and one Type II pecan tree within pollinating distance of each other.
- Type I: These trees release their pollen first and are ready to receive pollen later.
- Type II: These trees are ready to receive pollen first and release their pollen later.
Because they bloom at different times, one Type I tree and one Type II tree work together to pollinate each other, resulting in larger and more dependable pecan crops.
Each pecan variety on our website is identified as either Type I or Type II to help you choose compatible trees.
