- Special Attributes: Large, long-lived tree valued for its broad shade canopy and attractive foliage. Fruit production can be variable and is not guaranteed, especially when the tree is young or when a compatible pollinator is not nearby. Some trees may produce pecans while others may produce little or no fruit depending on cultivar, pollination, age, weather, and growing conditions. Excellent as a large shade or landscape tree even when grown primarily for its ornamental value.
