Abstract: A new and distinct variety of northern pecan tree (i.e., Carya illinoensis) is provided which can be distinguished from previously known pecan varieties by the extremely early maturity date of its pecan harvest. This permits the successful growing of a pecan crop at more northerly locations than has heretofore been possible, and facilities an earlier pecan harvest at existing pecan production regions of the north. The new variety forms on a regular basis quality kernels which release well from the shells. The tree exhibits a sturdy upright and spreading growth habit as well as excellent hardiness.
