Sumner Pecan Tree (Type II)

The Sumner Pecan Tree is one of the finest pecan varieties for home orchards and has become Georgia’s favorite cultivar. Developed through the University of Georgia Pecan Breeding Program, Sumner is known for producing dependable crops of large, high-quality pecans with rich, dark kernels and excellent flavor.

Producing approximately 56 nuts per pound, Sumner combines outstanding nut quality with exceptional disease resistance, making it a reliable choice for growers throughout the Southeast. The tree has a vigorous, upright growth habit with a semi-open canopy, making it well suited for home landscapes and closer spacing in orchards.

Sumner is a Type II pecan and should be planted with a compatible Type I pecan tree for dependable cross-pollination and maximum nut production.

• Nut Size: Large
• Average: 56 nuts per pound
• Disease Resistance: Excellent scab resistance
• Growth Habit: Upright with a semi-open canopy
• Uses: Fresh eating, baking, and cooking
• Zones: 6–9

_____________________________________________________________

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.
