Even at that, there are varietal differences between different 
'seed-strains' of northern pecan - and Southern pecan, as well.
Here in Kentucky, seedlings of the "Major" pecan, a selection from a 
400-acre native pecan forest in the Green River delta(where the 
"Green River" pecan also originated) are the preferred seedling 
rootstock for pecans and most hickories.  I also like seedlings of 
"Peruque" for this purpose.
However, the choice of seed-strain parent for pecan/hickory growers 
in Kansas or Michigan might be quite different.
