#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant Pecan Trees in a spot in full sun for best results. When you do your tree planting, plan to give a moderate amount of regular water during the first season and consistent moisture in a site with rich, well-drained soils. Provide trees with a thick layer of mulch over the root system to help during drought, and to keep the area under the canopy clear for easy nut harvest. These trees can be drought-tolerant once established and thrive in the heat and humidity of the southeastern US best. Prune if needed when dormant.
- Full Sun Trees
- Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Yet Regular Moisture
- Appreciates Mulched Beds
- Prune When Dormant
- Moderately Scab Resistant
