Plant Description - This tree is native to south of the border. It grows in well-drained, drought-tolerant soil and full sun. Grows up to 100'. This tree produces delicious, edible nuts. Suited for zones 5b-8.
- Pollination - In order to get nuts, you need a protandrous tree (male organs produce before the female organs) and protogynous tree (female organs produce before the male organs). This cannot be determined until the trees bloom. Therefore, it is suggested to plant 3 to 4 trees to be more certain of getting nuts.
