Hi Elizabeth -

I'm not qualified to answer your F1 question (without some research)... but
I can point you to an excellent pecan blog I follow that should help answer
some of your questions.  It's written by William Reid, Pecan Research &
Extension Specialist for Kansas and Missouri. Bill is overseeing a pecan
breeding plot raising controlled cross pecan seedlings. In particular, take
a look at Bill's 10/13 and 10/8 posts for info on nut feature variability.

Here's the blog: http://northernpecans.blogspot.com/

HTH!
