Pollination:
Mahan is a Type II pecan, meaning the female flowers generally become receptive before pollen is released. For better nut set and production, plant it near a compatible Type I pecan with overlapping bloom.
Nut Quality:
Mahan is especially known for its very large pecans. The size and attractive appearance make it appealing for home growers, although heavy crops can sometimes result in kernels that do not fill as completely as smaller-nut varieties.
North Florida Growing Note:
Mahan can grow and produce in North Florida and the Gulf Coast, but it is considered more susceptible to pecan scab and other disease problems than many newer pecan varieties. In humid climates, good air circulation, proper spacing, sanitation, and a regular disease-management program may be needed for dependable crops.
