Mobile is a type 1 pollinator requiring a type 2 pollinator for nut production.
It is thought that Mobile originated as a seedling from a nut planted around 1887 in Bayou Labatre, Alabama.
This is an older cultivar planted in trials by the University of Georgia College of Agricultural Science in the "Old Variety Test." You can read about that test here:

Average nuts pe pound are 66 and average kernel is 40%.
This cultivar overproduces in the "on" year, resulting in very poor kernel fill, and produces almost no nuts in the "off" year.
For some reason. someone must have thought this was going to be a great cultivar because it is found planted all over Georgia from the early days. Authorities on the subject claim it is probably one of the worst cultivars ever released.
