Pecan cultivars
'Indiana' Native seedling discovered in the early 1900's by M. J. Niblack and W. C. Reed. Original tree stood west of Oaktown, Knox County, IN, and was thought to be a natural seedling of the nearby 'Busseron' ortet. Introduced 1909. Nut: oblong, with obtuse apex and obtuse to rounded base; laterally compressed in cross section; 75 nuts/lb, 47% kernel. Protogynous, with mid-season pollen shed and mid-season pistillate receptivity. Used as a seedstock in the 1960's by Linwood Nursery, CA, under the name 'Linwood', but abandoned due to slow growth of seedlings.
