The Carya i. Choctaw
Carya illoinensis ‘Choctaw’ is one of the widely used species in producing Carya nuts. The tree is native to North America but was mainly spread by Native Americans, hence the species' name. The Choctaw is mainly planted in the somewhat wetter parts of Europe. The height of the tree is around 10-15 metres, but it can be pruned well in summer to make it suitable for your garden. The improved Carya species are very difficult to obtain, but are now available from us!
Quality note
The sweet flavour of the fruit makes it a highly sought-after variety in Pekan production. One of the preferred varieties based on its flavour and rich gestation. The nut is a bit rounder compared to the Pawnee.
