ABOUT OUR TREES…
- Our trees are approximately 6-10 feet tall.
- Trees are planted in a 24-inch tall, 12-inch diameter container specifically made for pecan trees.
- They have a 2-3 year root (meaning the nut has been planted for 2-3 years).
- They have a 1-2 year top (meaning the tree has been growing for 1-2 years since it was grafted to be a specific variety).
- All of our trees are Elliot rootstock.
- Most pecan trees will be 5-7 years old before they produce pecans. Production depends on the variety of tree, soil, water application, spray program and weather. Earliest production may be 4 years with the right conditions and care.
