Great video on pecan tree planting. Further study on this process is to be sure and plant a bare root tree in the winter/dormant months to help roots establish before the soil warms. Thanks for your video, it was very informative.
Will a 40’ spacing(about 20trees/acres)still produce a decent yield in the long run ? Could you give an estimation/guess of how many % of decreasing yield this will be compare to 8trees/acre ? Thanks in advance
I planted 8 assorted pecan trees that were good for my area zone 8a. They were approximately 7 to 8 ft tall. I don't remember which types. Had them really growing well until I got cattle, not knowing the cows would eat the trees and bend them over trying to scratch their bellies until the trees broke. The cattle killed them all. 👎 Now, I have areas blocked off for my orchards, but, haven't planted pecans again. Just fruit trees.
graft a limb of the big pecan to the medium tree it will bear big pecans you can cut a medium tree at about waist high so they want be any more med ium pecans it will take a while for this graft to heal and produce larger pecans
Two questions here: Last year's drought killed all of my pecan trees. One was over a year old, and the three I had planted that spring. I replanted last weekend. They were watered every weekend but still perished. You mention latex paint to control temperature fluctuations. Could this have helped, increasing the survival rate caused from the drought? Next I notice the bear root trees were not completely level. In fact, one was leaning. I take a level and make sure my new trees are straight. I take it it is not necessary to do this? Thanks in advance. I use this video as a guide watched it almost a dozen times trying to establish my orchard.
with tree's the size he planted, I'd guess 3-4 seasons, at least. Depends on the species of pecan, of course. If you plant a 7-8 foot tree there's a chance you'll get a small harvest the end of the first season. Again, depending on species and climate.
Great video. A little unclear on the water dam you create once the tree is planted verses kicking a portion of the dam down if there is too much water?
I found on my poor experience lol that watering it 1wk when they're still smaller than 3 ft is good enough. But not soak the ground (since I put black plastic around it about 3ft diameter from the middle, which keeps the soil moist longer and grass away compared to opened top around tree). But for bigger trees already giving fruit (5yrs+ old) just 1 per month or the root will be ruined.
@03:30 I'm already disagreeing about how to treat pecan groves. Uniformity is for the artless. Picture these groves and think of the Stradivarius. So there's storm damage..
for the past 4 years. My pecans are dropping early. Some may be the size of a marble. Or they rot and drop. I use to get 50 pounds or more off these trees and now the trees do not post nuts to eat. they are terrible. What do I need to do?
Hi! I just identified some leaves from plants that appeared out of nowhere in my front yard - four of them and they are growing very quickly - identified on a plant identifier app as pecan trees. Is this possible? I am in Northern California. The leaf, with its pointed tip and serrated edges, looks exactly like the leaf of the pecan tree in photos. I have no idea why these trees would be going growing here except that I did feed pecans to wild turkeys for a while a few years back. Any ideas? Thanks
I have 2 pecan trees straight from the seeds in planters. 1 yr olds about 1ft tall. I'm about to transplant them to the ground already. Should I graft them and when? Another video would be nice to know the pros and cons from seedlings compared to graftings.
@@frankdavidson9675 ok but also how old is it suppose to be till you can graft the pecan tree? This one is going for 3yrs already but it's only about 3 ft tall.
Hi there, I am from northwest pakistan with temperature reaches 38 in the summer and 0 in the winter. I have 3 pecan trees 7 years old and it increases their produce every year. My query is why my pecan nuts hard to break, normally you can break it with your fingers but mine needs stone to break the shell though not that hard but also not that soft to crack with fingers
Love the video. I feel like I got transported to the 80s learning about pecan trees from the Ag teacher

Does this mean I can't plant my potted ones that I got today?
@@Tgunnz70 one survived of the two.
Great video. Very knowledgeable planter.
Thanks Mike, very helpful. Just planted (2) trees in my yard. An Elliot and a Pawnee.
Fixing to get me a Elliot pecan tree and a Pawnee pecan tree tomorrow any suggestions
Thanks for the information. I'm also in NC.
Thank you too
Wow I didnt realize how much went into making a pecan tree cool
You don't make them cool. They just are cool.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!! 😊 WE BEGINNER NEEDS!! AND MERRY "CHRIST"-MAS!!! 🙋🏽🔥🙏🏽👑✝️📖🔥🕊️
very thorough video. My only question is, since i'm in Florida, should there be some additive to the hole like manure, peat, and/or premium topsoil?

And thats why i like to grow small trees in big pots.
Why not use a backhoe make a 4ft square hole. Dig it deep refill with desired soil.

I already have Pecan Trees in my property. Only 1 Pecan Tree gives big Pecan. My other 2 Pecan Trees, give medium.

I found wild pecan nuts at my school playground lol
How long before such a tree bears fruit?

Do you need two pecan tree to produce
Should I put soil and Fertilizer in the hole as well or just dirt?

Whiche month i plant pecan trees ?
wait till your tree is at least 1 inch in dia before you graft another tree to it
@@user-ni4wi4vb9z late
late winter or early spring weather permitting

Those must be the hardy wild variety, and not the domesticated "paper thin" shell variety
Can Peacan be grafted onto black walnut
What is the distance from each tree on both sides
@11:13 that's the tree equivalent of a communist apartment block. That graft was cool though.
Sir grafting pecan how much par plans
