• Pecan trees are among the best, multi-purpose trees that can be grown in the Northern Rivers, providing a valuable commercial nut crop, an excellent long-term investment and great landscaping potential for the home gardener. The nuts are among the most delicious of all the nuts,
  as most people will agree after eating a scrumptious pecan pie or licking pecan ice cream. Pecan tree (Carya illinoinensis) was originally from the south east of the USA, but is now grown throughout the world in suitable climates. Pecans were one of the most recently domesticated major crops.
• Although wild pecans were well-known among the colonial Americans as a delicacy, the commercial growing of pecans in the United States did not begin until the 1880s.[6] Today, the U.S. produces between 80% and 95% of the world's pecans, with an annual crop of 150–200 thousand tonnes.[7] The nut harvest for growers is typically around mid-October. Historically, the leading Pecan-producing state in the U.S. has been Georgia, followed by Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma; they are also grown in Arizona. Outside the United States, pecans are grown in Australia, Brazil, China, Israel, Mexico, Peru and South Africa. They can be grown approximately from USDA hardiness zones 5 to 9, provided summers are also hot and humid.
• If the soil is very acid, heavy lime applications may be necessary. In such a case two-thirds of the recommended agricultural lime must be distributed over the entire area 12 months before planting, mixed into the topsoil by disking, and then ploughed in as deeply as possible. Because calcium moves very slowly in the soil, it is essential to work it into the future root zone of the trees.
• A cover crop can then be planted and ploughed in 6 months later. This will increase the organic matter content of the soil. The remaining lime and all the required phosphate must be applied and lightly worked in simultaneously. The trees can then be planted 3 months later.
• If soil samples have not been taken early enough to proceed as described, two-thirds of the lime must be mixed with the soil and ploughed in deeply; the phosphate and the rest of the lime are then distributed and worked in lightly. If large quantities of lime are required, this must be applied at least 3 months before planting, thoroughly mixed with the soil and worked in deeply.
• Sixteen essential elements are known to be needed for plant growth. However, most pecan research has shown increases in yield and nut quality only when a few of these elements are supplied to orchard trees. The greatest response reported has been from using nitrogen (N) on soils deficient in this element.
• Bareroot pecan trees can be planted from December through mid-March in most of Texas. It is important that roots remain slightly moist, but not wet, at all times between nursery digging and planting. If you are not ready to plant at the time of purchase, "heel them in" by placing the roots in a trench or hole and covering them with moist soil. Trim off all broken roots immediately before planting.
• Pecans are grown primarily in the eastern area of North Carolina in well-drained soils. Pecan acreage is increasing in North Carolina with growers looking to diversify their farming operations. However, pecans must be viewed as a long-term investment with 20 to 23 years required for breaking even.
• The larger wood, 3/8-‑ to 3/4‑inch diameter, is best for patch budding, while medium‑size scions, 1/4-‑ to 1/2‑inch diameter, are preferred for grafting. The best wood is found on young, vigorous trees and in the tops of mature trees. Trees pruned heavily (dehorned) will force vigorous new growth satisfactory for propagation wood. Label all wood as it is cut from the parent tree to avoid errors in identification.Do not allow the wood to dry out before it is placed in storage. Moist burlap sacks wrapped around the wood serve this purpose well.
• Weigh out 20 g of pecan halves and spray kernels with water using an atomizer spray bottle to an 11.6% moisture content. Drain excess water off kernel surfaces and lace sprayed pecans in Zip- Loc™ freezer bags.
