Also known as Wright Hican came from John Hershey’s farm in Pennsylvania. It has been propagated under the name Hershey Hican but research by Zach Elfers and others has found its true name. It was originally named Koon but was renamed Wright going back to the ’40s or ’50s. Large nut and a regular bearer. John Hershey’s description,“Pecan X Shellbark Hybrid,” Laciniosa x Olivieformis, This remarkable hybrid is a most rapid grower. Mother tree standing near Sumner, MO, is reported a good bearer. Nut large as a southern pecan and looks like a pecan. Flavor high and different than anything else I have ever tasted.
