ABSTRACT:
A pecan tree designated "Price-Fleming" is a new and distinct variety of pecan tree distinguished by a high quality crop of large, very tasteful, thin shelled nuts with light golden meats. The fruit ripens mid October to mid November. The early maturity of the nuts further enhances market value. This new pecan tree is totally resistant to scab disease prevalent in other varieties in the same orchard. It has an upright, open center growth with a modified central leader providing for good air circulation and sunlight between the leaves which reduces fungus diseases and enhances growth. The growth rate of this tree is very rapid with nut production within four years after grafting. The nuts generally run about forty-two to forty-six to the pound and the cracking percentage is approximately fifty-five percent. Ninety percent of the nuts crack in halves which are of greater commercial value than broken pieces.
