'Rincon' (Nut Photo) 'Rincon'
originated at Archer Pecan Nursery, Rincon NM in 1957 and is reportedly
the progeny of a cross between Delmas and Onliwon. Nuts are oblong elliptic and have
slightly greater height than width (but would be classified as
round in cross section), with 45 to 50 nuts per pound and about
52-56% kernel (due to a thick shell). Nut sutures tend to be prominent
(dark) at the base of the nut, and are sometimes weak. Kernels
are typically very light in color, have deep dorsal grooves separated
by a straight, relatively narrow dorsal ridge, and have no basal
cleft. Kernels are wrinkled in surface texture (consistent with
Delmas parentage). Trees are protogynous in bloom pattern and
slow to bear, but reported to be regular. Nuts mature earlier
than Western.
