At a scion swap in southern Illinois, I received some pecan scions marked USDA 64-6-50, does anyone know parentage and properties as compared to Pawnee?

Hello Keith,
Thanks to Wes Rice and Bill Reid I have an answer you.
First the number is incorrect. It should be 64-6-502. Bill grafted it for Ralph Voss about 10 years ago.
The tree is a cross of Mahan and Major. Forrest Keeling Nursery is selling it also.
Wes Rice writes: I have 3 or 4 trees of 64-6-502 and they perform pretty well. The nut is about the size of Pawnee. Cold tolerance is only marginal, however. Hope this helps.
