Size/Age: 1-year seedling, 12-18 inches tall
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 5-9
These Northern Pecan seedlings (Carya illinoinensis) are grown from nuts selected from wild trees that have adapted to colder northern climates. As members of the hickory family, pecans produce extremely nutritious nuts with high fat content that are eagerly sought by deer and other wildlife.
Our pecan seedlings are developed with strong root systems to ensure successful transplanting and establishment. While standard southern pecans may struggle in colder regions, these northern-adapted selections show excellent cold hardiness and reliable nut production in zones 5-9.
Pecans typically begin bearing nuts in 10-15 years and continue producing for generations, making them an excellent long-term investment in your property's wildlife value. Mature trees can produce 50+ pounds of nuts in good years, creating significant wildlife feeding opportunities.
Benefits for Wildlife/Hunters:
High-fat nuts provide critical energy for deer during pre-winter periods
Nuts typically fall later than acorns, extending the natural feeding season
Complementary to oak plantings for more diverse wildlife nutrition
Creates multigenerational wildlife habitat improvement
Planting Instructions: Plant in full sun with deep, well-drained soil. Pecans develop extensive root systems, so avoid planting near septic systems or foundations. Space trees 40-60 feet apart for optimal growth and nut production.
Care Requirements: Water deeply and regularly during the first two growing seasons. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress competing vegetation. Once established, pecans are relatively drought-tolerant.
Bulk Price: $17 each for 5+ trees
Shipping Notes: Ships bare-root during dormant season. Plant promptly upon arrival for best results. Pecan seedlings may be slow to leaf out in spring—be patient after planting.
