The Gloria Grande Pecan tree has a 50% shelling percentage and averages about 49 nuts per pound. The tree produces thin-shelled pecans with a high oil content. The tree is a Type-2 pollinator, meaning its stigma is receptive prior to pollen shedding. Because of this, it should be pollinated with Type-One pecan trees. The tree grows to a mature height of 75 to 100 feet. The Gloria Grande is hardy in Zones 8-9 and should be planted in full sun or partial shade with deep, moist, well-drained soil.
