Pecan tree named ‘Tom’

Abstract

A pecan tree distinguished by the following unique combination of characteristics: high prolificacy, consistent production, early nut maturity, kernel size suited to confection trade, excellent color, absence of kernel speckling, excellent resistance to the scab fungus ( Fusicladosporium effusum ), and high resistance but not immunity to black aphid ( melanocallis caryaefoliae ) and leaf scorch mite ( Eotetranychus hicoriae ).

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct cultivar of pecan tree, substantially as herein illustrated and described.
