Description

A Stark Bro’s Exclusive!

Stark® Surecrop™ lives up to its name in every sense — consistently heavy yields year after year, proven in some of the harshest conditions any pecan variety has ever faced. Discovered in Illinois and introduced by Stark Bro’s in 1970 after surviving a record-breaking freeze of –18°F, Surecrop™ earned its reputation the hard way. Large, thin-shelled “papershell” pecans with excellent flavor, easy cracking, and well-filled kernels averaging about 58 nuts per pound — a Stark Bro’s exclusive that delivers reliably where others struggle.

Papershell Quality — Thin-Shelled and Easy to Crack

Surecrop™’s “papershell” designation is a meaningful quality indicator. The large, thin-shelled nuts crack easily and cleanly, yielding well-filled kernels with excellent flavor and a firm, solid texture. Whether fresh off the tree, baked into pies, or used in any recipe that calls for quality pecans, the results consistently impress. At approximately 58 nuts per pound, the generous kernel size makes every harvest productive in the most meaningful way — plenty of nut for the effort.

Survived –18°F — Cold Hardiness Proven Under Fire

Most pecan varieties aren’t expected to survive temperatures anywhere near –18°F. Surecrop™ did — a real-world cold hardiness test that no laboratory evaluation could replicate. That extreme cold tolerance makes it the most reliable pecan option for growers in the southern half of Zone 5 and other challenging northern pecan-growing areas where standard varieties simply won’t make it through difficult winters.

A Stark Bro’s Exclusive Since 1970

Discovered in Illinois and introduced by Stark Bro’s in 1970, Surecrop™ has over 50 years of proven performance behind it. It’s a Stark Bro’s exclusive — meaning it was selected, developed, and brought to home orchardists entirely through Stark Bro’s, and remains available only here.
