The nut of the Mahan Pecan tree is a long rounded nut that fill up a container fast. Mister Mahan, now deceased, lived in Monticello, Florida where he promoted this giant papershell pecan for many years, because of its early bearing characteristic and the enormous size of the three inch nuts.


The Mahan pecans "in shell" are popular with tourists and keep fresh longer than shelled pecans.

The Mahan tends to overbear, sometimes causing massive limb breakage which provides an entrance for fungal rot spores. The overbearing of the Mahan Pecan tree is not generally a problem except during hurricane season when high winds can breakout heavy bearing limbs before the nuts have fully ripened, especially in the state of Florida where hurricanes occur so frequently.





The shell of the Mahan pecan is so thin that the nuts often can be cracked merely by pressing the thumb against the papershell.




The famous Mahan pecan tree cultivar produces huge nuts in size, sometimes reaching 3 inches in length, and it shells out 40-50% kernel, depending on the weather conditions during the season.




Another important feature of the Mahan Papershell Pecan tree is that the kernels shell out in perfect halves, which is an important characteristic for commercial bakers and candy makers.




Pecan pie is world famous, and thousands of personal recipes are available on the internet for baking different versions of this important dessert.

Arbequina


Try planting nursery grown, grafted olive trees that can bear fresh olives the first year for table eating quality. In Northern states the olive trees can be containerized and grown near an entrance or planted in pots near the pool for that tropical flair, and in Winter just move your olive trees indoors and eat tasty olives all Winter. The olive oil produced from pressing Arbequina olives is of a high quality and a fruity musky flavor but rather unstable with a short shelf life in some cases.
