Greenriver is a cultivar of Carya illinoinensis, hardy pecan and is a large shade tree that bears high quslity pecans. The Greenriver pecan originated in Henderson County, Kentucky. It is a medium to large sized northern cultivar (60-70/lb), bearing high-quality, thin-shelled nuts that easily crack out whole halves. This cultivar probably will not go quite as far north as most of the other northern cultivars.
