Nuts
Mohawk
B tier
Mohawk is a USDA-associated large, relatively early pecan aimed at commercial kernel production. Sweet, rich meats suit snack packs and baking when orchards deliver good fill. Early leanings help some sites finish nuts before harsh late weather. It sits among the suite of improved large-nut cultivars that reshaped late-twentieth-century plantings. Specify Mohawk for documented large early genetics on supply contracts. Judge each delivery on aroma and moisture—not only nut count. Strong for roasted snacks and pie pieces. Freeze shelled surplus; commercial volume still dies in a hot storeroom.
