Discover the enduring legacy of Carya illinoinensis 'Posey' - Posey Pecan, a remarkable pecan variety originating from Gibson County, Indiana in 1911. Its continued presence today is a testament to its reliability, offering consistent annual pecan production. Perfect for home growers, Posey Pecan is celebrated for its robust resistance to pecan scab, ensuring a healthy, attractive tree with lush, dark green foliage throughout the summer.

This variety is a type 2 pollen producer and yields large, flavorful pecans—68 per pound—ripening around September 22nd, a full month ahead of the Stuart variety. While the kernels may darken swiftly, impacting their marketplace appeal, it does not affect the superior taste for home consumption. Posey Pecan consistently delivers a modest yearly crop, circumventing the alternate-bearing cycle common in many pecan trees.

Adaptable to various climates, especially northern regions, Posey Pecan thrives with appropriate pollinators like Yates 68, Major, or Mandan. Ideal planting conditions include full sun, good soil drainage, and adequate spacing of 20 to 40 feet to accommodate its potential mature spread. Whether nestled in deep, rich soils or resiliently standing in diverse terrain, Posey Pecan promises a beautiful yard tree and a reliable annual yield of America's beloved native nut. Ensure your landscape's beauty and productivity with the time-tested Posey Pecan.
