Carya illinoinensis 'Hirishi', famously known as Hirschi Pecan, is a cultivar once prized for its robust scab resistance. Originating from Rich Hill, Missouri, this pecan tree offers promising genetics for orchardists equipped with a spray program, ensuring a thriving and productive addition to your landscape. With a pollination type 1 and yielding approximately 72 nuts per pound, Hirschi delivers pecans with an exceptional kernel color that ripens a week before the Pawnee variety.

This hardy cultivar matures early, boasting larger and medium-sized, thin-shelled nuts. As a large shade tree, it flourishes in full sun and is drought-tolerant once established. Ideal for single tree planting, it benefits from nearby pecan trees for pollen. This vigorous tree is a reliable, heavy cropper, optimizing your harvest season. While it requires a pollinator such as Lucas, Colby, or Peruque, Hirschi offers a rewarding yield in a sunny location.
