The Elliot Pecan, or Elliott Pecan, is a pecan variety planted predominantly in Georgia and Florida. The nut is distinguishable by its smooth shell and small, tear-drop shape. [ 1 ] The first Elliot tree was a seedling in the lawn of the American lumberman Henry Elliot in Milton, Florida . [ 2 ]
The flowers are small wind-pollinated catkins, produced in spring. The fruit is a very bitter nut, 2–3 cm (3 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long with a green four-valved cover which splits off at maturity in the fall, and a hard, bony shell.
