Comments

'Kicklighter #1' is produces an interesting tree, but a mediocre nut.  Tree form is very upright with a strong central leader, very similar to an ungrafted seedling.  This cultivar is extremely slow to come into bearing, and is a consistent bearer of mediocre quality nuts.  Disease and insect resistance has been good.  'Kicklighter #1' has never been available commercially and I see no reason that should change.
