Since its initial breeding in 1922 at the U.S. Pecan Field Station in Philema, Georgia, ‘Caddo’ has remained a very popular Pecan for good reasons. Regarding yield, ‘Caddo’ is one of the best varieties. It begins bearing at an early age, and was one of the top producers in tests at the University of Georgia. The best news is that its nut production remains high in mature trees without going into an extreme alternate bearing cycles as some others do. This means Caddo will produce consistently year in and year out. The nut quality is quite good at 54% kernel with more than half the kernels rated as fancy. It has a slender kernel with an attractive gold color. Unlike many cultivars, though nut size is a little smaller the nut quality remains high in mature trees even with the larger yields.

Growing 70 to 100 feet tall and 40 to 70 feet wide, the Caddo Pecan Tree is ideal for use as a shade tree and beauty in large landscapes. Because the tree drops a lot of nuts in late summer into fall, we suggest planting at least 35 feet away from a home. A fine addition to edible landscapes, wildlife gardens and native gardens.

Suggested Spacing:  80 feet for space between trees

The Caddo Pecan tree is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil and full sun to part shade. Prefers moist, organically rich, well-drained soils and is intolerant of some shade. Very drought tolerant when established.
