Jumbo Hollis Pecan Tree Largest In Texas
The Jumbo Hollis pecan tree near Bend in San Saba County is claimed as the world’s largest native pecan, measuring 120 feet tall with a 24 foot circumference and 100 foot branch spread. Owned by Mrs. Hassie Morris, it produced 1015 pounds in 1919 and around 258 dollars from 860 pounds in 1915, reflecting Texas lead in pecan production and long grafting history. The tree sits on land once owned by Phil B. McCoury, with San Saba noted as a central pecan region and bud grafting origin. The tree’s true age is uncertain without boring into it.
