Pecan Trees
« on: February 17, 2018, 09:05:27 PM »
With the cold having killed off a good chunk of my tropicals, I was thinking on more temp hardy trees. I grew up on an island in GA with 50 foot tall pecan trees all over the place that were completely without any sort of care. Any advice on keeping them here in central Florida? My local Tractor supply has a couple varieties I was going to grab.

Why don't we have dwarf pecan trees? That would be awesome!

Actually I have had some luck although it has taken some time. I was weedwhacking prior to mowing the other day and I noticed for the first time, a fair number of pecans on my oldest tree. Not sure where it got cross fertilized from since the nearest pecan is about 100' away and is not near as big and didnt have any panicles that I noticed. But hey, not going to look a gifthorse in the mouth. Its about 16' tall at this point. Couldnt begin to tell you what kind it is though except it bloomed in late march/early May. I have a spot in the middle between the two for another one at some point. Oh and I am now 10a.

Pecans aside, that forward 40' of the yard is mostly flowering trees. I am slowly working on trying to build a wall of trees to hide the rest of the yard and house from the street so I dont have to see the new neighbors across the street when they build a house. So yeah, theres a Pecan tree sitting not far from both yellow and purple Jacaranda and royal poinciana trees. Its my zombie annona tree I am considering removing after almost 10 years of no fruit and planting a pecan in the fall which sits about 30' from a pair of mango trees. I'll have to find an early flowering pecan
