A pecan tree is a long-term investment in snacks and shade. With glossy green foliage in summer and golden leaves in fall, pecan trees provide year-round interest. But best of all, they reward patience with a harvest of rich, buttery pecans, perfect for fresh eating and baking. These majestic trees offer generations of enjoyment with minimal care. Start growing your own pecans and savor the rewards for years to come.
Few trees offer the combination of ornamental beauty and edible reward quite like the pecan tree (Carya illinoinensis). Native to North America, this beloved tree is known for its stately form, vibrant fall foliage, and, of course, its delicious, nutrient-rich nuts.
Delicious & Nutritious Harvest – Homegrown pecans are packed with healthy fats, protein, and antioxidants.
Pecan trees thrive in full sun and deep, well-drained soil. They require ample space to grow, as mature trees can reach 70-100 feet tall. For the best nut production, plant at least two different varieties for cross-pollination. Regular watering is important in the early years, but once established, pecan trees are remarkably drought-tolerant.
It takes patience to grow pecans—most trees begin producing within 6-10 years—but the reward is well worth the wait. Whether you’re planting a backyard orchard or a single specimen tree, pecans provide lasting beauty, valuable shade, and an annual harvest that only gets better with time.
