Growing Pecan Trees from Seed

I planted Native Texas Pecan Trees from seed in Rootmaker root pruning pots. I used my seed mix with Micronutrients and fertilizer. I will follow up this video with updates as the Pecan Tree Seeds sprout.
Here are the Amazon Links to some of the items I used

Squirrels put theses pecans in my raised garden beds and by spring I have pecan trees sprouting without any effort. I just pull them out and put them in a large bucket

Thank you. I have collected many fallen pecans. Cracking and Shelling them became much easier after they were allowed to open air, inside, dry for 3-4 weeks. I also have had the most success by using a set of 10 Inch Groove Joint Pliers to crack them.

Ours have been planted from seeds by squirrels. They started producing in about 10 years. The first summer we saw the catkins blooming we were so ecstatic but everything was covered with yellow pollen dust. This year we had a bumper harvest. The fresh nuts are so tasty. In the meanwhile, take care of your trees with pecan fertilizer, zinc spray and good pruning. We also throw some alfalfa feed pellets around the tree trunks too. Happy planting!

i found its easyer to start them in larger pot 6 in deep so you dont have to keep moving to bigger pots may damage roots i give tap rppt more room to grow dont fill cup full of soil to start leavean inch or so so you can add soil for support as it grows taller

On accident I was growing some tomatoes and beans I left them next to a pecan tree it was starting to give pecans three got into my pots and around November I saw something in one of my tomato’s so then I pulled it noticed it was a pecan and replanted it it died so I was sad about it then one day u went to check in my farm and I saw to others right now I’m planning of transporting them in February I’m pretty glad I think it was the climate of Houston that helped them grow

Any trays you do if you make a box the size of the tray out of quarter in screen metal mesh no more squirrel problems make em about 4 or 5 inches higher than the trays give room for plants to grow.

New sub here thanks for sharing god bless thanks for the info

What do you mean you floated them? Explaining this in the video would've helped.

Question, but first thanks for the inspiration I have 5 pecan sprouts about a foot high now, but when I first attempted, I used everything you did in your pecan videos, same trays, same fertilizer and mix ratios of perlite and peat moss. I did three trays like this and in all three they started to sprout, but I could not keep my peat moss mix moist. I would water it before and after work but it dried incredibly fast and killed all the sprouts, did you ever run into this issue and if so, how do you keep the trays with that mixture moist?

im thinking about using a4 in pvc pipe they come in 10 ft sections i will cut at 12 inches that will give me ten (12inch pots ) so my tap root will have room to go down i will connect all the sections togeather standing up for supportas they grow it will be easy to remove these to plant in orchard with tap root intact

[frankdavidson]

you will find your tap root coiled up like a spring by useing those tiny plastic pots pecans are not like other plants the have a very long tap root for support as they mature may be 8-10 ft long stright down starting in a big pot gives the tap root room to grow i put mine in a 5 gal bucket good for a couple years or more that i dont have to keep fooing with it leave alone wet when it needs it dont let it dry out after about 6 months from seed leave it out side year round one other thing i see people do is plant the seed standing up i need s to be laying flat the reason is the root and stem grow out from same crack in seed one goes up one go down if it on its side if not one of will go into a uturn not good later in luck

[sethtillman]

does it matter which direction the crack points?
