Carya illinoinensis 'Lakota'—Lakota Pecan—is a remarkable addition to any orchard or home garden. Released by the USDA in 2007, this cultivar stands out for its exceptional scab resistance, making it a low-maintenance yet highly productive tree. Thriving in USDA Zones 6-9, Lakota is perfect for growers across warmer regions.

This type-II pollinator, derived from the cross 'Mahan' x 'Major', boasts early nut maturity beginning in late September. It's a true performer with high yield potential, but it requires crop thinning due to its impressive cluster size. The tear-drop shaped nuts of Lakota weigh in at 54 per pound, featuring a light golden kernel, ideal for both home and commercial use.

With a robust structure capable of reaching 75-100 feet in height and a 40-70 foot spread, this tree requires careful spacing and full sun exposure. Plant in deep, well-drained soil, and water regularly during the initial years. Known for its vigorous growth and resilience, the Lakota pecan is a must-have for growers looking to produce high-quality pecans with minimal disease risk.
