Pecan tree (Jubilee)

Abstract

A pecan tree designated "Jubilee," a cultivated seedling, said tree displaying particularly valuable commercial characteristics in that it annually produces a high quality crop of thin-shelled nuts without the benefit of fungicide sprays under conditions of severe pecan scab disease pressure. Early maturity of the nuts further enhances the commercial value.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of pecan tree, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the unique combination of medium-early maturity of high quality, large nuts on an annual basis, without the use of fungicide in an area where most pecan varieties are severely affected by pecan scab disease, said nuts having medium-thin shells which separate easily from the kernel, and a self-fertile habit which assures good annual nut crops even in the absence of any neighboring pecan trees.
