I have several old "Stuart" pecan trees that bear large nuts. They had a heavy crop this year.

"Cape Fear" is a newer cultivar from North Carolina, so it might stand best chance in your area.

Ask your local Cooperative Extension agent for the best pecans for your area. What will grow in one area will not necessarily grow well in an other. Texas is divided into 5 different pecan growing areas with different varieties recommended for each. You will also need two compatible varieties. Some varieties will self-fertilize to some extent, but for larger crops, you must have a cross pollenizer.
