Majestic Beauty, Delicious Homegrown Pecans

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.

Why Grow a Pecan Tree?

Delicious & Nutritious Harvest – Homegrown pecans are packed with healthy fats, protein, and antioxidants.

  • Long-Lived & Hardy – A well-cared-for pecan tree can produce for decades.
  • Excellent Shade Tree – Its broad canopy provides cooling relief in summer.
  • Low Maintenance Once Established – Requires minimal care beyond occasional pruning.

Planting & Care Tips

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.
