Subject: [nafex] Is my pecan seedling a hican?
Date: Sat, 07 Sep 2013 10:30:14 -0400
I planted pecans from my trees and many germinated and are growing up
quite well, but the leaf shape varies among seedlings. For example, some
leaflets are wider than others. I have wild pignut and mockernut pecans
in my area. How do I determine if I have pecan or hican seedlings? Can I
determine this by phenotype (at this point that means leaf shape) alone?
