Moneymaker is a type 2 pollinator requiring a type 1 pollinator for nut production.
Mr. S. H. James, Mound, La., planted the nuts for what became Moneymaker about 1885.
Moneymaker was in trials by the University of Georgia College of Agricultural Sciences. It was in the "Old Variety Test," which you can read about here:

Cultural practices were very different in the 1950's and the data reflect the care the trees received at an early age.
Average nuts per pound is 68 and average kernel is 44%.
Moneymaker produces such good yields even at age 45 and older that it ranks among the top four yielders. A round nut with a thick shell, well filled. It matures early enough for the holiday market. It alternate-bearsm and that can be a problem.
With older cultivars, the early harvest date was an advantage of Moneymaker, however today, with cultivars like Pawnee, that advantage no longer exists.
Moneymaker is not recommended for commercial planting, but older, already existing trees can still be profitable.
