Iowa Golden is a seedling of Gideon from Red Fern Farm, planted in 2008. In 2021, Red Fern Farm had a hard freeze in early May followed by a hard frost in late May, which resulted in a near total crop failure. Only a few of their oldest, tallest trees had a few nuts at the very top, where they were tall enough to escape the frost. No other trees on the farm had any nuts at all, except for Iowa Golden and another Gideon seedling in the same row. These two young trees were the only trees on the farm to have a full crops of nuts.
 
Pot Sizes: Seedlings come in pots that are 4x4 inches square at the top and 9.5 inches tall to allow for excellent root development.
