Title: Pecan Scion Cultivar Effects on Freeze Susceptibility of the Rootstock
Author: S. Sanderlin
Abstract:
Unusual freezes occurred in 3 of 5 years following planting of a pecan orchard. Observations on the damage caused by these freeze events are reported. In one freeze event, scions of cultivar 'Pawnee' were less susceptible to being killed by moderately low temperatures than were nine other cultivars or ungrafted 'Elliott' seedlings. The 'Pawnee' scion appeared to impart some resistance to freeze damage to its rootstock.
