Cultivation

Origin: as chance seedling in Tift County, Ga., discovered by W.E. Sumner about 1932. Nut: oblong, with obtuse apex and base; round to flattened in cross section; 39 nuts/lb, 61 % kernel; kernels with wide dorsal grooves and deep secondary dorsal grooves. Protogynous, with mid-to late season pollen shed and early to midseason receptivity. Precocious and prolific, with consistent production. Ripens late, almost two weeks after Stuart. Generally resistant to scab, although recently susceptible in some locations. Susceptible to black pecan aphids. Recommended (1990) for planting in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Louisiana.
