Pecan trees thrive in well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering, especially during dry periods. Fertilize in early spring and ensure proper pruning to maintain structure and health. Monitor for pests like pecan weevils and treat them as needed.
The Pecan Tree thrives in full sun, needing 6 to 8 hours of sun daily. Optimal growth and nut production occur when the tree receives consistent sunlight throughout the growing season, promoting strong, healthy development.

About this plant
The pecan is a native and deciduous tree that will give you plentiful amounts of delicious pecans to harvest. With its height and wide-spreading branches, this tree will provide plenty of shade to your yard. If you want a nut tree that pays you back for decades, a pecan tree from our farm is a good place to start. Its nuts are perfect for eating raw, baking into sweet pecan pies and cookies, or turning into candied pecans for holiday gifting.

The leaves are long and bright green, with serrated edges. Leaves will turn yellow in the fall. Its male flowers are long yellow-green catkins, and wind carries pollen to the female flowers. The trees develop husks that begin green and turn brown as they mature, hiding and protecting the nut inside. The nuts grow in groups. Nuts are ready for harvesting from fall through winter. Harvest nuts quickly; otherwise squirrels and deer will beat you to them.
Plant your pecan tree in an area with full sun and plenty of space. This plant prefers to be planted in well-draining, loamy soil. Avoid clay soils that may become waterlogged. This is a low-maintenance tree once it gets going. Pecans live a long time, so your family and many future generations will benefit from it.
This plant ships bare root. We dig our pecans while they are dormant, so get yours in the ground as soon as it shows up at your door. It is recommended to plant it at least 40 feet away from your house and never close to power lines; big pecan trees can drop limbs in a storm. Dig deep enough that the long taproot goes straight down without bending.
Water it once every week through the first summer when there’s no rain. Remember to keep the grass pulled back from its trunk. A single pecan tree does not set many nuts on its own. Plant at least two pecan trees within about 150 feet of each other, so the wind can carry pollen between them.
Prune yearly, removing any damaged, diseased, or rubbing branches. Protect the tree against browsing and rub damage from deer and other pests by fencing or caging it while it is young. This will become unnecessary as the tree matures.
The Pecan Tree is valuable to many kinds of wildlife, giving them habitat and plenty of food. TN Nursery offers quality native trees, and every pecan tree for sale here is dug fresh from our own fields.
